Description: Aislin, a dragoness who works for a delivery service, meets her new partner, a handsome purple dragon named Saber. She quickly falls for him and makes many attempts to seduce her new partner into mating her, but she finds it to more difficult than she thought!

► Show Spoiler

Aislin cut down from the sky, making a beeline toward a building marked as Postal Services by a large sign over the doors. It was nestled against a larger, unimportant corporation that was owned and operated only by humans, and it was directly across from a local store, separated by a large parking lot where the humans stowed their vehicles for a short time.

Located near the edge of town, the street in front of the postal building was always bustling with activity because it led straight into the city. The smell of exhaust was much stronger here than what she was used to. She hated the stench of it, but it was inescapable.

Aislin flared her wings and touched down on the sidewalk next to the road, her paws landing sorely on the concrete. She grimaced and shook it off. A few taller passersby gawked at the gray dragoness that suddenly landed in front of them, but she paid them no mind. She was used to the humans and their idiocy.

Aislin walked through the doors into the lobby. There was a desk at the back of the room where a female attendant was talking to a man. She padded through the room, trying not to make any eye contact with those waiting, heading straight to the door labeled Employees Only that was right next to the front desk. She reached her paw just above her shoulder and twisted the doorknob.

She was immediately greeted by William, a tall and lean man and probably the only human she didn’t detest here. He was sitting at a desk in the corner, his hand and pen busy writing while his glasses hung loosely at his nose. He managed the dragons that worked there, and he was fairly friendly to them. “Hey, Ash. Boss’s got a few letters for ya.”

“Already? But I just got here,” Aislin complained, twitching her tail. She was early too—it was a little bit before four o’clock in the afternoon. “I don’t even have my suit on yet.”

“Your buddy, Eve, quit about half-an-hour ago. She was covering for both Kale and Rhona, so they need to be delivered fast.”

Aislin sighed with displeasure and rolled her eyes. “Of course she did.” She was expecting for her to quit anytime now, but it was still an unpleasant surprise.

She walked over and opened a tall, wooden closet. Inside, lain on individual shelves, were white and orange reflective suits custom made to fit dragons. Aislin wasn’t the only dragon that worked here for urgent deliveries, but only she and Evelyn worked this shift. Since Evelyn quit, Aislin was now alone for the evening and would be for the next few days until some other dragon filled the position. She complains about the job all the time, she tries to grab more hours while covering for two others, and then she quits. Unbelievable!

William chuckled. “You should’ve seen her storm out of here! She was tryin’ to take her suit off while angrily growlin’ and hissin’ at us, barin’ her fangs and such. Funniest thing I’ve ever seen a dragon do.”

Aislin grinned at that and picked up a shredded flight suit at the bottom of the closet. “And this is the aftermath?”

He burst out laughing, holding his hand over his mouth while trying to stifle his fit. “Yeah! Oh, I wish you could’ve seen it! Boss was pissed too!”

She laughed with him, baring a genuine smile, and tossed Evelyn’s old suit back inside. She grabbed her own that was tagged “Aislin” and withdrew it. It was lightweight, durable, insulated, and it kept the biting wind from chilling her body. Around this time of year, it was almost necessary to wear to keep warm, but if she had the choice not to wear it, she would not. She’d throw it in the dumpster out back in a heartbeat.

With the suit held loosely in her mouth, she went to go change in the small locker room right next to the closet. It was big enough to comfortably fit six or so humans, maybe four dragons. Though humans were generally taller than dragons, dragons were lengthier and stockier, but weighing about the same as an adult human.

Thankfully, no humans were inside, though most of the human employees never even bothered to use the locker room. It wasn’t that she was embarrassed to dress herself openly; it was that she just didn’t want any awkward situations to arise from it.

Humans were weird about their clothing and bodies. They almost always changed in separate rooms, careful not to invade another’s “privacy.” As a dragon, Aislin was “naked” all of the time until she put this ridiculous suit on, and it never bothered her. She liked the freedom of not having to wear anything—especially this silly uniform.

She began dressing, fitting one limb at a time through the stretchy sleeves. The material stretched snugly around her gray scales, fitting comfortably despite how absurd clothing looked on a dragon. One half of it pulled up to her body while the other half pulled over her right flank and snapped together at three different places along her backside: one at the top of her neck before her ivory horns, one at the base of her neck just before her wings, and the last one at the beginning of her long tail just after her wings ended.

It was a nuisance slipping it on, but having to snap it together was almost impossible without help. But Aislin would never dare to ask a human to help her dress, including William, so she did it all herself. The first fastening was easy, as was the third one, but in order to latch the second one, she had to dexterously use her wings, folding and bending them until she could barely push each piece into place. It took a lot of practice to do that.

After it was all said and done, Aislin strutted to the mirror to admire her work. The flight suit fit tightly over her light-gray scales as the fabric stretched to fit her body. Sleeves came down on her limbs to her black-scaled paws. The orange and white striped pattern wasn’t complementing her gray scales at all, and it especially didn’t complement her dark-green eyes. The only thing it matched was her white horns and talons, and her black paws. Around her ankles, her gray scales burned into black, looking a lot like socks that humans would wear.

Aislin hissed with distaste and whirled around and walked out of the locker room. Any blind moron could see me just fine without these ridiculous colors!

“Do you have the letters?” she asked William, who was busy back at work. He retrieved three different envelopes from his desk and handed them to her.

“Deliver the one to Strickland first,” he instructed. “He’s especially pissed.”

She took them, looked at Strickland’s address, and tucked them away in a perfectly-sized, built-in pouch at her side. “I don’t get paid enough for this.”

“I’d trade you jobs, but you can’t write and I can’t fly!” he retorted teasingly.

Aislin playfully growled and replied, “I can too write!” She lifted a paw and wiggled her toes at him. “These aren’t as clumsy as you would think.”

She grinned smugly and exited through the door to the lobby. It seemed to have cleared out, only having one client inside at the desk. Good timing too. I hate being seen in this!

She opened the front door and immediately leapt to the sky, climbing high over the city. She knew exactly where to go, so she turned east and continued flying over the edge of the city, passing over buildings, streets, and humans. A few different hues and colors speckled the skies around the city as other dragons continued their day. The sky was their sidewalk, so she never really saw dragons and humans walking side by side which, to both races, was probably a good thing.

Since the human population was constantly growing and outnumbering her kind, dragons were forced out of their homes, sent off to live somewhere else. There have always been conflicts that often end badly because of that, but more and more dragons are beginning to comply and cooperate with humans, swallowing their prideful egos.

Aislin, being a dragon born in the city, found herself a job just like any human could. She was required to deliver urgent letters to those who paid for the service. She could do something a human could not: fly. It made for the fastest mode of travel, especially from one side of the city to the other.

Although humans and dragons were cooperating better each day, there were undoubtedly hostilities from both parties. Discrimination is the biggest flaw in humanity, and it was more often than not directed at dragons. And most dragons despised humans because they’re forced to comply with their stupid rules and ideals.

Most restaurants wouldn’t serve dragons, many stores wouldn’t let dragons inside, and countless services were often denied to a dragon. There haven’t been many laws created for the rights of dragons, so private businesses could get away with almost anything. Humans like William were few and far between, which was why Aislin detests them.

Aislin angled herself downward, gliding over a few tanks filled with propane. She landed lightly and walked up to a small building. She had delivered here before—she recognized the property and she was beginning to remember something she didn’t like. She walked inside, making sure to first wipe her paws on a rug of any grime they could have accumulated. It seemed like a common courtesy since humans liked their things to be kept perfectly clean.

“Hey, hey, hey! Shoo!” a large, portly man grumbled, standing up from behind his desk while pointing at the door. “I said out! Get!”

Aislin scowled at him, careful not to bare her fangs. That’s what I forgot about: this old, fat bastard. Despite having been delivered to by the postal service Aislin worked for, the stupid, fat moron behind the desk never seemed to realize that dragons were the deliverers. And he was one of those humans.

“I’m here with your letter,” she said and withdrew the one for Strickland. She took a step forward, ready to hand it to him, but the man rudely yelled at her to stop.

“No!” he barked. “Don’t you touch my damn carpet!” He rushed over, stumbling around his desk, and snatched the letter from her. “You’re late!” He glared angrily at her, seeming to expect an apology.

“Sorry about your weight,” she replied cleverly with a slight grin. She couldn’t help it!

“I’ll be informing Mr. Donley about your tardiness,” he squinted at the badge on her chest and continued, “… Asslin.”

“Ash.”

“What’d you say to me?” A nasty glare scrunched his face tightly.

“It’s pronounced Ash-lin, you incomp—” Aislin bit her tongue and quickly opened the door and left, nearly getting her tail crushed in the process.

The dragoness sighed and looked at her next letter. Smith. Oh, how generic! she commented to herself while reading the exact address. A lot of the humans she delivered to frequently requested the post office’s service, so she remembered a lot of addresses with certain names, but with common names like Smith, she could never tell which one.

I’m already off to a good start, she grumbled. No wonder Evelyn quit.

Aislin wasn’t too pleased with working alone today, but she was quick to deliver the next two letters in the city, and she was done in less than an hour. Lucky for her, delivering the other two envelopes went smoothly without incident. She even received a small, hard-tack candy as a tip! If the humans knew how to do anything, it was making tasty treats for her to drool over. She decided to save it for later and stashed it in her right pouch.

When she returned to the postal building, William was still sitting at his desk, but this time he was playing a game on his phone.

“Busy as always?” Aislin asked sarcastically.

“Yup,” he replied tersely, absorbed in his game. Being the manager of dragons, there really wasn’t all that much to do since they were out delivering all day. It was probably the easiest job there!

She was about to walk into the next room where she could get some water and maybe a snack, but he suddenly piped up, “Oh! You have a new friend to meet.” He put down his phone for a moment and pointed to the locker room. “He just walked in not too long ago, lookin’ for a job. Since Eve just quit, I’d say he’s got lucky timin’! He’s been in there for about twenty minutes… you should probably check on him.”

“Just because he’s a dragon, it doesn’t automatically make him my friend or buddy, you know,” she retorted, already making her way into the other room. ”And why didn’t you help him?”

He rubbed the back of his head and smirked. “Busy doin’ stuff.”

Aislin teasingly scoffed, shaking her head disapprovingly. Humans were always preoccupying themselves with something, often distracting them from what’s important.

Inside the locker room was a male dragon with violet scales lining his slender body, struggling to put on the flight suit. Aislin grew wide-eyed as she watched him attempting to put on his uniform. It was hard to impress her, but he certainly outdid himself! That male was handsome and attractive in every possible way she could think of!

Blue hues mixed in with his dark-purple hide. His chin, the tips of his wings, his hind-paws, and the tip of his tail were all the same shade of dark blue. Polished ivory horns protruded crookedly from the back of his skull, just above small cheek spikes that gave his face a tough, masculine appearance. Small white spines traced down his back to the middle of his tail.

After having looked over her new “friend” once… maybe twice… definitely three times, Aislin finally realized just how clumsy he actually was. He had the wrong half of the suit on his underbelly, one forearm was through the wrong hole, and his head wasn’t even through a hole. He was so focused on trying to put the flight suit on, that he hadn’t even noticed her.

“You’re quite the mastermind,” Aislin commented.

His head jerked toward her just as his cheeks flushed. A pair of crimson eyes stared helplessly back at her. “I… uhhh.” He hung his head low, admitting defeat. “Can you please help me? I just started here.”

She laughed amusingly and bared her teeth in a friendly grin. “I can tell that much. Get it off.”

He listened to her, stepping out of the suit once it was untangled from his limbs.

“Okay, here,” she said, guiding his paws to the proper holes. He didn’t say much and slightly flinched when she touched him. She could tell he was nervous.

“My first time putting one of these on wasn’t easy either,” she reassured. “They’re the worst things ever designed.” That got an uneasy smile from him.

Aislin directed him through each step, focusing mostly on which limb went through which hole. He lifted his wings for her, and the bottom half of the suit soon met the top half as she snapped it together for him.

As she pulled the suit up and clicked the third fastening together, he groaned and shifted uncomfortably.

“What’s wrong?” she asked curiously. She knew she did everything right, and the suits stretched evenly to fit a dragon’s body, so it shouldn’t have been too tight.

“N- Nothing,” he replied with a hesitant smile. “It’s just that the suit is... well… it’s constricting.”

Aislin picked at it around his shoulders, testing its elasticity. “It seems fine. It should fit snugly once you get used to it. This was my first piece of clothing ever too.”

He laughed awkwardly. “It’s not that. It’s more in the lower regions…”

She delightedly went to inspect his hind end, but he pulled away. She scowled disappointingly at him. “Can you move your tail alright?”

“Yeah, it’s fine.” He waved his tail back and forth to double-check. “Forget I said anything about it. Thanks for helping me put it on,” he said politely, deterring the subject. “My name is Saber.”

She dipped her head courteously in return and replied, “My name is Aislin. Welcome to the team.” That sounds way more official than what it actually is, especially since it’s just the two of us for this shift.

“Thanks.” He took his attention away from her for a moment and looked at himself in the mirror along the wall. “I look ridiculous in this…” he muttered while turning and lifting his wings.

Then Aislin finally realized what he had been complaining about. She caught a quick glimpse beneath his tail and saw that his balls were smashed against his body. Two separate orbs bulged where the fabric pulled them tightly against his crotch. She blushed and averted her gaze.

Poor guy. I’m glad I don’t have to worry about that!

Aislin chuckled happily, glad to see someone share her distaste. “You look ridiculous? I look even more ridiculous!” She lifted her wings too, making sure he got a good look at her graceful body. She even did a little twirl for him.

She beamed in return, not caring that he was just being polite. She knew she didn’t look that great in this, but she was hoping that he looked less at her clothing and more at her body. She liked shy guys!

“Thanks. Let’s go see if we have anything to deliver.” He nodded eagerly and followed her.

William, still thumbing at his phone, heard them walk in and said, “I don’t have anythin’ right now, so why don’t ya show Saber around, Ash?”

“So take him to the break room and back?” she retorted dryly. “That will take a whole two minutes!”

“Hey, don’t get sassy with me!” he teased. “I meant take him around town or somethin’. Sabe’s new here. If somethin’ comes up, I’ll page ya, so try not to venture too far.”

“Sabe? And I thought Ash was bad!” Aislin checked to make sure her device was in her pocket, and then made sure it was on. Humans had all sorts of neat devices, but she didn’t really have a use for any of them.

“Two syllables are too much for me,” he retorted.

“Your name has three,” she stated.

“And you can call me Will if ya want. Now get going! I’m very busy,” he said, returning his attention to his game.

She rolled her eyes. “See you later!” She happily padded through the lobby and out the door with Saber close behind.

“Where do you want to go first?” she asked him.

He glanced around and replied, “I don’t know. This is my first time in a human city.”

That surprised her. There weren’t many dragons that had never been in a human settlement anymore. Aislin thought of her favorite places and decided that the city’s park would be a good way to introduce him. “Follow me, then!” She jumped into the sky and flew west toward the center of the city.

They flew together silently for a moment while Aislin thought of a question to ask. They rose above the tallest buildings, even the ones that seemed to scrape the sky. Beneath them was what looked like a maze, constructed by the human builders. Roads connected and broke apart, shifting and changing directions while weaving between buildings. There were a lot of simple square shapes, but the pattern seemed to change with different sections of the city.

“Where are you from?” Aislin finally asked, curious. He was too well-groomed and polite to be a wild dragon, but this was his first time in a human city, so from where else could he have come?

“I came from a secluded estate about fifty miles away from here. I was born and raised there, so this is my first time seeing the outside world,” Saber explained.

“You were raised by humans?”

“In a way, yes,” he answered. “I lived with a few other dragons along with my father, and we were all domesticated and well cared for by a rich, human family. We were mostly used for shows and sometimes breeding, if we agreed to it.”

“That sounds rather pleasant…” She looked at him with curious eyes, admiring his lithe, violet body as he flew. He must have been the handsome product of two, beautiful dragons that had bred there. I wouldn’t mind mating with that one bit!

“What made you leave?”

A somber smile spread his lips. “I didn’t want that life. I enjoyed everyone there, human and dragon alike, but I wasn’t happy with being someone else’s property. I was never treated like an animal, but the similarities were there. I didn’t feel complete, so I ran away to start my own life.”

Aislin understood the feeling. Dragons weren’t meant to be pets, and there were laws avidly against it. Although there were laws against domesticating wild dragons, there were plenty of loopholes and ways around them, such as being born into it like Saber was.

Once a dragon reached a certain age, they were considered free no matter their living condition, but most domesticated dragons were never told of this and would never know. There was also no way to accurately prove their age. Saber didn’t know about the law, but he ran away anyhow. Nevertheless, he was free.

Aislin chuckled and said, “So you chose to work as a deliverer?”

He grinned. “It wasn’t my first choice, but I accepted the option pretty quick. I asked around other places in the city for a job that I thought would work for me, but I was shooed away from most of them, even yelled at. I didn’t realize humans were so… rude.”

Aislin nodded in understanding.

“A kind dragoness noticed my plight after being kicked out of a store and referred me to the Postal Services building. She said a position just opened up, so I immediately went there.”

That had to have been Eve, she thought with disbelief. “You will get used to the humans. They’re all pretty much the same.”

Saber disagreed. “They’re a lot like us, but there are more of them, so it’s just harder to find the good ones.”

Aislin frowned at him. “The only nice human I’ve ever met is William, our manager. The other humans are either respectful or rude.” Then again, he may be right. I don’t really try to talk to them.

“The family that cared for me was very nice. I got along well with their children, and they enjoyed playing with me.” He smiled briefly, seeming to have recalled pleasant memories.

“I wish I could have met them,” Aislin said. She saw the park down below them, surrounded by streets and buildings. Amidst the dull looking buildings were a few city blocks painted in vibrant hues of autumn colors. Oaks, pines, maples, and dogwoods shaded the trimmed grass and flowers beneath them. Their colorful leaves were just beginning to fall.

“Here’s the first place I wanted to show you,” she said, leading him down to the center of the park. They landed in a clearing next to a cobblestone path that ran from one end of the park to the other. Their paws crunched the fallen leaves beneath them, but the grass was soft and well cared for. A few human gawked at them from a distance, appearing to have been disturbed by the two dragons.

Aislin grinned and walked to the path, beginning to follow it with her claws clacking against the stone. Saber trotted to catch up and was soon walking next to her.

“It’s my favorite place to go to relax when it’s not a busy day. I usually have a lot of downtime during the week.”

“Did you ever take the other workers here?” Saber asked inquiringly.

“No, not really,” she answered. “The dragoness that worked here before you kept to herself. The only time we really spent together was the first week where I trained her, just as I will be doing with you.”

“Oh, so we will be working separately?” he asked, sounding disappointed.

“It only takes one dragon to deliver letters—having two just speeds things up if one of us is already out delivering.” Aislin smiled softly. “But it doesn’t mean we won’t get to see each other from time to time.”

Saber nodded. “So what’s the worst part about the job, besides these ridiculous uniforms?”

Aislin grinned toothily. “Well, dealing with the humans to start with. A few of our clients are extremely racist towards dragons, and you’ll know who fairly quick. During our runs this week, I’ll let you know ahead of time if I know them.”

He nodded in understanding. “And the best part?”

“Hmm. Probably the treats!”

Saber looked at her questioningly. “Treats?”

“Some of the humans like to tip us with snacks like candy.” She withdrew the hardtack candy she received earlier and handed it to him. “Try it.”

He sat down for a second and clumsily unwrapped it with his forepaws while eyeing it with scrutiny. He must have never had a piece of candy before. “What does it taste like?” he asked uncertainly.

“Try it!” Aislin insisted.

Saber placed it in his maw and immediately bit into it. With a loud crunch, the candy shattered in his mouth. He chewed on it some more and swallowed the pieces.

“You were supposed to suck on it, but that works too,” she remarked.

“It tastes fruity,” he said with surprise.

She nodded her head excitedly. “The humans somehow put different flavors into the candy that taste just like real things. I’m surprised you haven’t had some before.”

They continued along the path for a few minutes before they came across some humans. Aislin noticed two humans specifically, a male and a female, walking side by side just as she and Saber were. She guessed that they were mates because she often saw couples like that walking around the park. They’d often press their faces together and hug, showing affection in the human way.

Aislin smiled softly. She imagined being mated with Saber and felt butterflies forming in her stomach. He was a very handsome dragon, and he was kind too. She wouldn’t mind being his mate at all! Although, she wondered how he felt toward her. After all, they had met only an hour ago!

Aislin had mated a few times before with two different dragons and given or received oral from another few. She never really knew them and didn’t really care to know them. They were instinctual flings that came about from lust, and she wasn’t ashamed of it.

But looking at Saber now, she wanted more than just a onetime deal with him. She liked his personality and his ravishing looks. He was a perfect, potential mate in her eyes, and she hoped he saw her that way too. She wondered if he had ever mated before, since he lived with some breeders. He could be really good at it for all she knew.

“Aw, look, honey! They’re so cute together!” the female said after they passed Aislin and Saber. “They even have matching outfits!”

Aislin growled and turned around to protest, but Saber stopped her before she could. “That was a compliment, Aislin,” he said, convincing her to keep walking forward. “And I don’t mind if they think we’re mates. It’s an easy mistake to make.”

Aislin was going to retort, but Saber caught her off guard. His toothy smile was genuine and sincere, and his crimson eyes were filled with kindheartedness, glinting beautifully like two ruby gems. She stared at him for a moment, lost in thought with a very warm heart.

Then, her pager began beeping and vibrating, requesting for her to return to the office. She mumbled a curse and said, “Looks like we have something to deliver. Let’s hurry back.”

He nodded and followed her.

They only had to deliver one letter, and it was to a small business not far from the main office. It was the perfect opportunity to show Saber how to read addresses and deliver, and they had it done in no time.

The evening led into night, and they only had a few more letters and a package. Saber was slow to catch on to reading the addresses and finding them without a map, so William gave him a small map of the city to study during their breaks, and Aislin taught him how to read it.

Aislin was more than happy to assist him. Normally, her work day dragged on and on for about six hours, but today she didn’t even notice time passing. The next thing she knew, she was taking off her suit in the locker room around ten o’ clock with Saber, who was also done working for the night since they were on the same shift.

She undressed quickly, which was much easier than dressing, and folded her uniform neatly. With a quick look-over in the mirror, she was glad to see her bare light-gray scales again. With that suit on, she couldn’t see her mottled, black scales that clung to her shoulders and back. Now that it was off, she saw the change in color where her thickest gray scales darkened to black along her spine.

Then, she noticed Saber having a difficult time with his flight suit once again. She chuckled and padded over to help him.

“You’re very clumsy,” she commented while unfastening the top half for him.

“Whoever invented these created a cruel joke,” he grumbled. Once he was able to step out of the suit, he elicited a long sigh of relief.

“That bad, huh?”

He nodded and noticeably shifted his hind legs farther apart than normal.

Aislin grinned, thinking to herself, Probably making sure his stones are still there! She figured she could tease him more about it now, since they were well acquainted.

“I never realized how constricting these uniforms were down there until you came along. The only other male that works here takes an earlier shift, so I don’t get to hear him groan about it.”

Saber blushed and fumbled for his words, refusing to make eye contact with her. “I… yeah… It’s not very… pleasant. I wish they had been more… considerate when making these.”

She laughed and folded his suit for him. “I’m sure you’ll get used to it.” She handed it to him, but he was acting extremely shy. “What’s wrong?” she asked, concerned that maybe she took a step too far.

Now it was her turn to blush. Her cheeks heated and she took a step back. “T-Thank you, Saber.” His smiled gained confidence, and she beamed sincerely in return. It normally took a lot to get Aislin flustered, but three simple words from him broke her solid poise.

“I told you the suits made us look ridiculous,” she said.

“They are very distracting,” he agreed. “I’m glad I could see you without one on.”

Aislin smiled softly and went to put her suit away, feeling butterflies in her stomach again. William was nowhere to be found, so she assumed that he already went home for the night. “We’ll have to get you a nametag tomorrow, but for now, put your suit on this shelf.” She pointed to Evelyn’s old shelf. He placed his folded flight suit neatly inside the closet.

She walked out of the door, making sure Saber was following her, and padded through the empty lobby.

“Does this place get locked?” he asked as they stepped outside. A single light lit the front entrance as they were greeted by the cool, night air. The breeze was welcomed against Aislin’s bare scales.

“Mr. Donley, the boss man, closes up about an hour later. Everyone else has usually gone home. Hell, the normal mailmen finish their routes about six o’ clock. That’s why we get a little bit busier after that.”

He nodded in understanding. “I see.”

“I guess I’ll see you tomorrow, if you’re still interested in the job.”

“I’ll definitely see you tomorrow,” he replied with a soft grin. He looked around, seeming to be lost. Aislin figured he didn’t know his way around yet, especially in the dark.

“Do you need help getting home?”

He looked at her thoughtfully. “I… I don’t really have a home yet. I was just going to sleep in the park until I find a place.”

“Come stay at my apartment,” she offered. “It’s too cold to be sleeping out in the open like that, and I could use some company.” She smiled reassuringly. “You can stay until you get your own place.”

“Are you sure?” he asked. “After all you’ve done for me today, I can’t expect you to also open your home to me.”

Aislin grinned. Saber would be the first male—hell, the only dragon—to ever set a paw in her new apartment. She began renting it out only a couple of months ago, and it’s been the most comfortable place she’d ever stayed. It was a dragon-friendly place, too, so she wasn’t the only dragon around—and the owners were sort of nice. Not many humans would rent out a room to a dragon. Most of the human residents there were respectful towards dragons as well, so it really wasn’t a bad place for her to live, but it was expensive.

They flew for about ten minutes until the large complex came into view. It was built on the outskirts of the city, and it looked almost like a hotel. Since there were a lot of dragons, the owners of the complex actually built it to accommodate them by making balconies on each floor so they wouldn’t have to walk up the stairs. There was a door with a keypad lock on each landing platform.

Aislin and Saber landed on the fifth floor balcony. She tapped in a few digits, and the door unlocked. They walked inside and straight down the hallway until they reached her room, 504. She never left the door locked, so they walked straight in after pulling down the handle.

Aislin, of course, kept her hoard and money stashed away in a locked room so nothing would be stolen. Other than that, she didn’t really have many possessions she cared about, besides what came with the rooms.

“Wow,” Saber said, looking around inside. As they stepped inside, they were greeted by a comfortably warm temperature.

“I’ll take that as a compliment,” she teased. “Come on, I’ll show you around.”

The rooms were rather barren and small, besides some furniture, but they were all maintained, nice, and cleanly. The living area was the first they stepped foot into from the entrance.

In the living area, there was just a couch made for humans against the wall, facing them, a TV that she bought last month to their left, and a cabinet against the wall on the other side of the TV.

“You have a television?” Saber asked with awe, staring at his reflection in the black screen.

Aislin chuckled. “Yeah, though I don’t use it much. I don’t know how to work the damn thing.”

Saber picked up the remote, turned the TV on, and stared at it wide-eyed as the news began playing. He tapped a button and brought up a guide, searching through it. Aislin watched him, surprised. He found a channel and selected it, bringing it up in an instant. It was a channel with cartoons.

“You know how to use that?” she asked with disbelief. I couldn’t even change the channel once.

He smiled and nodded his head. “The humans taught me when I was younger. I had often watched these cartoons with them.”

She sat down next to him in front of the television, their eyes glued to the animated show.

“Weren’t you going to show me the rest of your place?” he asked, snapping Aislin back to attention.

She replied, “Oh, yeah…” She pointed to a closed door behind them, to the right side of the couch. “That’s an unused bedroom.” She pointed at the next room continuing on their right. “That’s the kitchen, and there’s another door in there to the right that leads to the bathroom.” She pointed at another closed door to the left. “And that’s my bedroom.”

Aislin’s attention immediately reverted back to the cartoon, having given up on a full tour. She had never really watched a TV before, with something entertaining on at the very least. The only thing she had watched so far was one of those drab newscasters going on and on about something completely unrelated to her.

Saber chuckled and crawled up onto the couch. “I’m exhausted after our venture today, so if you don’t mind, I’ll sleep here for the night.”

She turned toward him. “You don’t have to sleep on the couch. There’s another bedroom with a soft bed and blankets right there. I’ll even share my bed, if you don’t want to sleep alone,” she offered hopefully.

He looked at her thoughtfully, getting Aislin’s hopes up. “I don’t want to intrude on you, so I’ll take the separate room. I’ve never slept in a room to myself before… thank you,” he replied politely, stepping off of the couch.

Aislin tried not to show her disappointment and simply nodded. She didn’t want to push him any further, as she didn’t want to scare him off, but she hoped that he would wander into her bed sometime during the night. It was a decently sized bed for one person, but it wouldn’t be able to fit two dragons together without some close, physical contact. She just wished that she could snuggle up with him as he held her against his warm body.

As Saber closed the door behind him, she sighed and continued to watch the television. She would just have to wait for him to make the first move, and then she would be all over him. Aislin smiled to herself.

Thanks to the TV and her vivid imagination, she was easily entertained for the next couple of hours before she decided to crawl into bed herself.

Her bedroom only had a bed and a nightstand with a lamp on it, but beneath her bed was where she stored her hoard, ranging from shiny objects to items that meant something to her.

The dragoness jumped up onto her bed and curled up, placing a soft, warm blanket over her body. She quickly drifted off into slumber while thinking about Saber.

Aislin lazily crawled out of bed the next morning earlier than what she was used to. She wanted to sleep a little bit longer, but hunger gnawed at her stomach, so she decided to get some food. After a yawn and a few stretches, she stepped out of her room, immediately noticing Saber lying on the couch, watching cartoons again.

“Good morning, Aislin,” he said with a cheerful smile. “I hope I didn’t wake you.”

“I don’t sleep for very long. I’m used to taking naps whenever I get tired.”

She nodded. “Just make sure you get enough sleep before work. I’d hate for you to fall out of the sky because of exhaustion,” she teased. Aislin walked past him toward the kitchen, and then realized that she never offered him food. He was probably starving! What kind of hostess am I? she thought worriedly.

“You hungry?” she quickly asked.

He climbed down from the couch to follow Aislin. “A little bit, yeah. I could use a snack.”

Aislin quickly padded to the fridge, finding eight packages of raw meat that she had bought only a couple of days ago. It was different from the raw food humans bought, as this meat was cured for a dragon to eat straight out of the package. That was going to be her food for the rest of the week, but she went ahead grabbed four packages out.

She split the meat with Saber, giving him two packages. They both hungrily ate the food while watching cartoons on the couch together.

“This is really a nice place you have,” he commented politely. “And I hope you don’t think rude of me for asking, but how do you afford all of this? Does delivering for Postal Services really pay for everything?”

Aislin smiled and replied, “I can’t really afford it. I signed a six-month lease with the savings I had stored away. After the lease is up, I’ll have to find a new place to live for a while, so I can save up money again.”

“Where will you go?” He looked genuinely worried for her, and that made her happy.

“On the other side of town is a place for dragons to live. It’s rugged, dirty, and not well cared for. I’ve lived there for most of my life because the rent is cheap. That’s why I wanted to see what it was like to live in a place like this for a time,” Aislin explained.

Saber nodded in understanding. “I’ll have to check it out as soon as I can. I could probably start living there after my first payment.”

Aislin frowned. She didn’t want him to live there. She wanted him to stay here with her at least until her lease expired.

Once four o’clock was about to roll around, Saber and Aislin departed for work together. When they arrived, Saber had the opportunity to meet Kale and Rhona, the two workers who worked the shift before them.

They walked into the locker room together, finding a golden-scaled male and a white-scaled female taking off their suits after the end of their shift. Usually, they left a bit earlier, before Aislin arrived.

Rhona was the first to notice them and greeted Aislin casually. “Hey, Ash. Is that the new guy?”

In Aislin’s opinion, Rhona was a very beautiful dragoness, as she looked pure and innocent. But she was persistent and talkative, not a good personality to mix with Aislin’s, who kept to herself and was equally as stubborn. Rhona was also just as hormonally unbalanced as a young male first experimenting with sex.

Aislin nodded. “His name is Saber.” She looked at Saber and said, “This is Rhona, and that’s Kale.”

Kale greeted them too. Aislin liked Kale as they got along fairly well. He was handsome, but not as handsome as Saber. She once exchanged oral pleasures with him, but that was mostly in hopes of annoying Rhona, if she had found out.

“Saber, eh?” Rhona said as she strutted over to him. She swayed her hips back and forth while seductively eyeing him. “You’re a very handsome drake.”

Aislin subdued a growl, but stared at her maliciously as she lightly sniffed Saber’s neck. You have a mate, and he’s standing right behind you. Back off!

“T- Thank you,” Saber stuttered. He stepped back a little, giving more room between him and Rhona. He stepped closer to Aislin, which pleased her immensely. “It’s nice to meet you.”

“Rhona, leave the poor guy alone,” Kale said and walked up to them. “We can go have our fun now, so there’s no need for you to get him all worked up.

She grinned deviously—which Aislin swore that was directed at her—and retorted, “I was only welcoming him. No need to get your tail in a knot.” She returned her attention to Saber and finished, “It was nice meeting you too.”

Kale and Rhona left, much to Aislin’s relief. Saber seemed relieved, too, since he sighed as his tense body relaxed.

“Rhona is quite a handful,” Aislin commented.

Saber nodded in agreement.

Aislin had to help Saber into his flight suit again, even after showing him how to put it on with herself as a model. She took her time too, making sure he got a really good look at her body. She dropped every subtle hint she could possibly think of, careful to make sure it wasn’t that obvious like lifting her tail. But Saber never went forward with it.

While they had some downtime, Aislin showed him another one her favorite spots: the reservoir. It wasn’t too far from the post office, located north in the city’s outskirts. It was a large, mile-wide pool of water which held most of the city’s water. During the summer time, Aislin liked to play in the water, despite the rules humans made against it.

Since the water was too cold to play in, they walked around the dirt path circling the water. They happily chatted away about a variety of subjects. Aislin was glad to see that he wasn’t as shy as what he first was. Saber was a very good listener and conversationalist when she got to know him.

They only had a short time to spend there before Aislin’s pager buzzed them back.

Saber learned a lot more about the job, and he was beginning to pick up on it faster. Every delivery for them went smoothly. It wasn’t rare for Aislin to run into a rude human while she was on her own, but now that Saber was around, all of the humans seemed nicer. He was polite to them and very sincere which earned him a lot of treats. Aislin felt a little jealous, but she knew it was just his nature.

Aislin warned him about their next customer. He was a short, stocky, and vicious little human. She liked to refer to him as the “angry elf,” and Saber got a good kick out of that. They flew in the middle of town and glided down between buildings, finding themselves outside a grocery store with a sign in the front window saying Humans Only.

She nodded. “There’s plenty more businesses like this, too. I’m surprised you didn’t see them.”

Aislin pushed open the front doors, and they both walked into the store. It was nice and clean inside. There were only two registers on their left side while the rest of the store opened up to many different aisles, sorted and organized.

“Wipe your paws,” she said and did so herself. After making sure that they wouldn’t track dirt around, they walked inside and approached the first register. A lady working the till turned and greeted them.

“Hey there!” She smiled kindly at them and squatted down so she was eye-level with Aislin. That surprised her, as that was a courtesy that humans rarely did for dragons. “I’d hate to kick you out, because you’re both so adorable, but I’m sure you saw the sign out front.”

Aislin ignored the comment and replied, “We’re here to deliver an urgent letter to…” The name escaped her mind. She looked at Saber, who happened to be carrying the envelope, and asked him to withdraw it.

He pulled it from his pouch and read it. “To Mr. Kracinski,” he finished.

“Oh, I see! Here,” she said, holding out her hand. “I’ll immediately take it to him. He’d have a fit if you two walked through his store, and he’d take it out on us for letting you in.”

Aislin knew why, but Saber couldn’t help but to ask, “Why? We didn’t do anything wrong.”

The lady smiled and took the letter he handed to her. “It’s not just you. He just doesn’t like dragons, and his excuses are that dragons will ‘scratch up the floor, make a mess, break things, scare the other customers,’ blah blah blah.”

Saber frowned, looking a little frustrated. He wanted to say something back, but he couldn’t quite form the words.

Aislin beckoned for him to leave and said, “Thank you. He’s new to the city.”

They turned to leave just after Saber thanked her as well. When the door closed behind them, he asked, “Why do humans think we’re bad? It’s not like we do those things on purpose.”

“There have been many incidents in the past that led to those typical stereotypes. She was kind enough not to mention the worst ones.”

“So they’re dragons that actually do that?”

“Some of them, but it’s out of spite for the most part. C’mon, let’s grab a quick snack.”

Later that night, William had a nametag ready for Saber and fixed it onto his uniform. He was now officially employed there, having two days of training already. Aislin was glad to see his genuine smile at the end of their second night. He look happy and accomplished, though he still had trouble with his suit. She helped him take it off and folded it up for him again.

Once they both returned to her home, Saber immediately retired for the night, exhausted and sleepy. Aislin was disappointed, having hoped that he would watch some more cartoons with her. She grabbed another slab of meat from the fridge, realizing that he had gone to bed without eating again. She sighed and stayed awake for another hour before finding her eyes to be too heavy.

When Aislin crawled into her bed, she immediately began thinking about Saber again. She couldn’t shake him from her mind, especially since he didn’t seem interested in mating with her. An idea came to her mind, and she decided to try it the next morning.

Aislin woke early the next morning and energetically hopped out of bed. She was eager to put her plan into play, even though it was simply taking Saber out for breakfast. She stretched her limbs, loosening her tight muscles and grabbed a small, leather bag from beneath her bed. It was made to fit around her neck like a necklace, and it carried her extra money that she could spend freely. She exited her bedroom with it hanging loosely at her chest.

Saber was already on the couch, curled up comfortably while he watched the TV. “Good morning,” he said and scooted over, offering a spot next to him.

She shook her head and gestured for him to tag along. “We’re going out to get some breakfast this time.”

Saber grinned, turned off the television, and hopped down from the couch. “You seem spry this morning.”

“I’m hungry for something more than just a slab of meat,” she said. “And I know the perfect place.”

The sun was just beginning to rise over the eastern horizon over the city. The air was cool and thin, chilling Aislin’s scales while she flew. She led them to the other side of town anxiously, hoping that their time together would go well. She imagined it as a date, like something a human couple would do.

When they reached the opposite end of the city, they angled down to a lonely restaurant called Breakfast Under the Sun. It was a restaurant that accommodated both dragons and humans, but exclusively cooked human food.

They walked inside together and were immediately greeted by a server. “Hi! Would you like a table for two or would you like to eat outside?” she asked.

“Outside, please,” Aislin answered.

“Okay, right this way!” The server led them through the restaurant. Inside, the aroma of cooked food wafted into Aislin’s nostrils. She loved the scent of it, breakfast foods particularly. The restaurant seemed to be busy around this time. There were a lot of humans inside, chatting and eating, but when they exited the building out of the back, dragons were everywhere, lounging and relaxing while enjoying their food without tables.

It was a large patio built with cobblestone and concrete, and boxed in by a short wall. Beautiful flowers surrounded the grassy area outside of it, and bushes were expertly sculpted, acting as a second wall around the square.

The attendant told them a waiter would be with them shortly and to find a spot they’d like after handing them two menus. Aislin smiled at Saber and told him to pick where they would sit. He found a nice, secluded spot that wasn’t completely surrounded by other dragons in the corner of the open patio. They sat down next to each other near the wall with menus laid in front of them.

“I didn’t realize that so many of us ate at human places,” he commented while looking through the menu.

There were more dragons than Aislin expected, but she knew that a lot of her kind gathered here early in the mornings almost every day. Most of them were mates, eating together under a romantic light: the sunrise. That’s why she picked it, so she could spend some one-on-one time with Saber.

“This is about the only restaurant that will serve our kind for breakfast, and it also has the nicest view.” Aislin pointed to the mountains far in the east, peaking in front of the rising sun. Between them and the mountains, it was nothing but bucolic land stretching over rolling hills, untouched by the city.

“Wow,” Saber said with awe. “This is beautiful, Aislin.” He stared off into the distance with wonderment, making Aislin feel delighted. His crimson eyes were wide and curious while he held his head and snout nobly. She really liked how his scales were violet on top of his snout, and how his chin was a dark-blue fading into violet again at his neck. His scales glimmered like an amethyst gem. She found herself blushing and awkwardly fiddled with her paws, glancing away from him.

“You’re very handsome,” she complimented shyly. “I never got the chance to say it back.”

His attention returned to her with a warm smile. “Thank you.” He looked at her thoughtfully, his eyes speaking for him. They were kind and sincere, melting Aislin’s heart away like the heat of the sun. She smiled, baring her teeth happily. Their eyes met for a moment, vibrant green and fiery red.

Then, they were interrupted by a waiter greeting them. “Hello there,” he said. “Have you decided what you would like to order?”

Aislin almost shot the waiter a very dirty look, but she refrained and regained her composure. She noticed that she was breathing heavier than normal, feeling a bit of lust that spurred within her. To her disappointment, it quickly faded away as she told the waiter what she would like.

Saber took his turn next, stating exactly what he wanted. Aislin was surprised, as he had only looked at the menu for only a moment. She had eaten here before, but she still had trouble deciding what she wanted.

The man jotted their orders down on a pad. “Alright. Would you like anything other than water to drink?” He pointed at a fountain of water over to their left, just outside the patio. A few dragons were playing in it and drinking from it. “If not, there is our freshwater fountain. Nothing but cool, clean water flows from it, and it’s yours to drink at your leisure.”

Aislin looked at Saber, and he shook his head. “The water will be fine, thank you,” she replied. The waiter nodded and left.

“I’ll pay you back for this when I get the chance,” Saber said.

She smiled kindly at him. “Don’t worry about it. It was my idea, so it’s my treat.”

He nodded and replied, “Thank you,” deciding not to argue the matter further.

While they waited for their food, Aislin and Saber both happily chatted about their likes and dislikes, and then a little about their lives.

Aislin told him a bit about her past. She was born and raised in this city, but both her parents had abandoned her at a young age. Her mother raised her alone for some time after her father had left. Then, the day came when her mother decided to leave her too. Aislin was never told the reasons, but she accepted it and moved on, finding a place to work soon after.

Saber listened intently to her, nodding and commenting between pauses. He didn’t remember his mother, but he and his father were close. He sympathized with Aislin and wished things would have been better for her.

She could tell he was genuine about it just by the gloomy expression he wore. He was the only one she had ever told about her past, and she was glad she did. It made her nervous just to think about it, but he calmed her down with his sincerity, helping her keep a level head.

The food arrived almost fifteen minutes later. Saber had ordered the meatiest pile of food the restaurant had. His plate was covered with eggs, ham, bacon, and sausage, all cooked to perfection. Aislin had eggs and bacon with two pancakes smothered with syrup. She couldn’t resist the sweet, sugary things that humans were particularly good at creating.

Saber happily dug into his plate, burying the tip of his snout into the food while he ate. Aislin chuckled at him and carefully took small bites out of her pancakes, picking at it with her paws. Though she loved the syrupy flavor of it, she hated the stickiness.

“I almost forgot how delicious human food tasted,” he said after swallowing a large mouthful of food.

“It tastes even better if you’d slow down and eat it!” she teased.

Saber shrugged his wings and continued to eat at the same rate. Aislin rolled her eyes. Not the best table manners, but then again we aren’t eating at a table!

Saber finished eating much faster than Aislin. He released a sigh of satisfaction and lay on his flank with his belly facing her. Aislin offered a bite of her pancakes to him, but he refused, saying he was too full. She grinned and soon finished eating, but not without taking several quick glances at Saber’s sprawled body.

Aislin was surprised that he didn’t try to cover himself. He was usually mindful of his body, but he must not have cared as much as she thought. Then again, his positioning was perfect so that only Aislin could see his genitals. That could have been his goal all along, but he played it so innocently that she couldn’t tell.

Her curious eyes traced his violet scales from his wide, bulky torso to his crotch. His stones loosely dangled against his thigh. She noticed his sheath above them, and wondered what his exposed length would look like. The dark purple scales on his package looked nonexistent and smooth as a human’s skin.

Aislin finished her food and licked her paw clean, and then heard other dragons beginning to growl and shout playfully, cheering at something. Wondering what the uproar was, she turned to find two dragons, a male and a female, mating wildly in the center of the square. She blushed awkwardly but couldn’t turn her head away.

The blue-scaled male rutted the yellow-scaled female while biting her neck to hold her down. Her lusty growls and her enraptured look of pleasure made Aislin’s scales tingle. Their bodies rocked back and forth, the male gaining more and more speed as they continued.

Saber finally crawled to his paws and looked around Aislin to see what was happening. “Oh… Oh my. They’re allowed to do that?” he asked with wide eyes.

Aislin turned and saw his eyes glued to the mating pair. “No, they’re not,” she answered. This had happened one other time she was here, but it wasn’t rare for her to see dragons mating in public. It was not allowed, as it generally disgusted humans, but that didn’t stop them from rutting wherever they pleased.

A few employees came out of the building and started yelling at the two to leave, but they were a little too late. The blue male flared his wings out, shooing off the humans as he roared loudly, hitting his climax. He rammed into the female a few last times while she growled and snarled pleasurably. He pressed deeply into the yellow female, knotting her as his seed began filling her.

The dragons watching cheered again while the helpless workers tried to stop it. They eventually managed to separate them, sending the mates flying off.

Aislin’s lustful imagination toyed with her, wanting to be that female with Saber on top of her. She imagined what he would feel like and wondered if he would take her quickly or slowly. She couldn’t decide which she would like more.

Aislin noticed that her cheeks were warm with arousal. She quickly turned away, embarrassed, and found Saber turned away from her, facing the corner of the low wall.

“That was something,” she commented. “Are you ready to leave? I’ll go pay the bill.”

He shifted awkwardly and glanced at her. “Yeah… uhm, just give me a few.”

Curious, Aislin tried to look over his shoulder, but Saber covered his crotch from view and shied away. He glared at her for a moment while a big grin spread her lips.

“You got hard, didn’t you?” she teased. She didn’t have much room to talk, but her arousal wasn’t quite as noticeable.

“Yes,” he admitted. “I… I’ve never seen mating before.”

Aislin perked up. “So you’ve never mated?”

He shook his head.

She wanted to exclaim her cheerfulness out loud, but she managed to withhold. Now she had the opportunity to be his first, to be the one to take his virginity. It would be a very special moment for Saber, and she wanted to be a part of it.

“I’ll leave you to deal with that, and I will be right back,” she said and left to pay for their meal. Aislin noticed that Saber wasn’t the only male who had been aroused. A few others had full-fledged erections, not bothering to cover themselves like he did. Their light red rods of flesh protruded from their sheaths like weapons ready to penetrate. Each one was unique and appealing to her lusts.

“Hey, pretty thing,” a bronze-scaled male called to Aislin as she walked past.

Aislin stopped and turned toward him. “What do you want?”

“I saw you starin’ at my cock.” He stood up and swaggered over to her, making sure his erect length was still in her view. He had been sitting with a few friends against the building who were now encouraging him to continue. “Want to mate?”

“No. Get lost!” she hissed and turned away.

But he suddenly jumped in front of her, growling in an attempt to assert his dominance. “C’mon! It’ll be quick and we can both have a little fun. I’ll have you screaming with pleasure. We could do it back at my den if you’d prefer that.”

“I said no,” she growled angrily. When affected by lust, dragons were the worst beings to encounter. They didn’t care about anything else other than satisfying their thirst and having their way, especially arrogant, aggressive males.

She tried to walk around him, but he continued to block her path. She was nearly about to strike him, but one of his friends snuck up on her from behind. He quickly tried to mount her, grabbing at her shoulders while pushing her down into submission.

He was much heavier than her and nearly had her pinned. Aislin growled viciously and lurched away. She escaped him, but the bronze male suddenly tried to mount her as she now faced away from him. He was stronger and subdued her quickly, biting down on her neck to make her submissive. She cried out with pain as his teeth sank into her hide.

Dread filled her as she felt him lift her tail and expose her slit. Aislin struggled against him with all of her might, but she was weaker than him. She tried to lower her hind, but he was strong enough to hold her up. Tears threatened to fall as his filthy paws groped her body while he held her where he wanted her to be. She snarled, baring her teeth savagely. As soon as she broke free, she was going to kill him.

Aislin heard a lot of commotion and shouting behind her, and she was suddenly freed as his teeth and claws tore away from her. Pain shot through her like a bolt of lightning. She nearly went tumbling with him, but a dragon caught her and pulled her away. Everything happened so fast that she couldn’t keep track of it all.

The black-scaled dragon that caught her also protected her from the bronze’s friends, standing in front of Aislin. Then, attacking the bronze, she saw Saber. A wild expression replaced his calm nature, giving him a vicious, feral look. He looked angry, absolutely livid. His claws found the bronze and tasted his blood.

“Don’t you ever touch her again!” he roared. “She’s mine!” Aislin’s breath caught in her chest as her heart reeled. Saber was protecting her like a mate.

“Saber!” Aislin shouted. He stopped just before he was about to pounce and glanced at her. His crimson eyes were lit aflame, burning with bloodlust and rage. When he saw that she was alright, he immediately calmed and his expression softened. He looked at the bronze male with disgust, growled at his friends, and carefully backed away, quickly returning to Aislin.

Thankfully, the fight was over as fast as it had started. Saber nuzzled Aislin, rubbing his cheek to hers and hugged her with his wings. Tears filled her eyes.

“I’m glad you’re okay,” he said, comforting her with loving caresses. She melted within his grasp. He sat on his hind while he held her gently. Saber’s forelegs wrapped around her with his wings, holding Aislin in a warm embrace.

She softly cried into his shoulder, losing all strength of her will. Aislin hated showing emotion, and the more she thought about it the more she felt like crying. She didn’t even know why she was crying. It just felt… right. She was glad that he shrouded her from sight. It felt like it was just them together.

“D- Did your erection go down?” she asked and sniffled, trying to regain her composure. She didn’t want Saber to see her like this.

He smiled and squeezed her tightly. “Yes, it did.”

Aislin wasn’t sure how long she was wrapped in his warm embrace, but she enjoyed every single second of it, forgetting the world around her.

The black-scaled male that had helped and protected Aislin approached them after their moment together had concluded. “Are you alright?” he asked with concern.

Saber released her, and Aislin reluctantly let go. She noticed blood running down her light-gray scales from where the dragon had clawed and bit her, and it hurt quite a lot, but it was nothing major. She nodded. “Just a few scratches… Thank you.”

He smiled gently and glanced at Saber. “You’re most welcome, dear. I’m just glad I was on your mate’s side and not the other.”

Aislin smiled at that, and Saber blushed. Saber had done what any friend would have done, but what he said really made her happy. I am his.

The bronze dragon and his friends were quick to leave, and Aislin and Saber departed soon after. When she went to pay the bill, the cashier voided the cost of the meal and said she was terribly sorry for what happened and glad Aislin was okay. The waiter servicing them had informed the restaurant what occurred, so their meals were free of charge. Aislin left a decent tip for the waiter and thanked the cashier.

Saber and Aislin returned to her home shortly after. Saber followed Aislin into the bathroom so they could clean her wounds. Inside the bathroom were the bare basics: a shower, toilet, sink, and a couple cabinets.

Stored in the cabinet was a bottle of rubbing alcohol, some cloths, and wraps, though Aislin didn’t want to wear those despite what Saber said. She didn’t want to have any bandages—they would only cause unwanted attention.

So, Saber used a cloth dipped in alcohol to clean her injuries. Aislin lay on her belly, hissing and complaining while he stood over her, dutifully tending to each cut. If it wasn’t so damn painful, she would have really enjoyed this. He was giving her his undivided, caring attention while tending to her needs. It made her feel like the only dragoness in the world.

But the stinging and burning of the alcohol continually brought her out of her fantasy.

“Hold still!” he commanded.

Aislin huffed and bared her teeth. “It’s not that easy with you jamming that into me!”

“I’m barely touching the surface,” he retorted. He moved to her dark-scaled right shoulder where claws had gouged her hide. “I’m almost done.”

Aislin patiently lay still, waiting for him to finish. She distracted her mind by thinking about what had happened and that rage-filled look Saber had. He had looked terrifying and intimidating, the exact opposite of his normal handsome and reserved self. He defended and protected her without any concern for his own safety.

“Thank you for earlier, Saber.”

“Don’t mention it,” he replied casually, just finishing up cleaning her wounds. He began cleaning the dry blood that streamed down her light-gray scales. Aislin enjoyed his touch, wishing that it found its way farther than her torso.

She looked at him earnestly. “No, really,” she insisted. “I am really glad you did that.”

A gentle smile curled his lips. “No friend should ever sit by while their friend is being forced to mate,” he stated. “I did what anyone would have done; I wasn’t the only one to help you back there. Besides the black dragon, there were a few others who helped me through to the one that attacked you.”

She smiled at him uneasily. “But you took him on all by yourself…”

“I did what I needed to do.” He stepped over to the sink, stood up on two legs, and washed his forepaws. They were caked with dry blood, but none of it was his own.

“He was almost twice your size, you know.” Saber was about the same size as Aislin but a bit larger, and that bronze dragon had been nearly twice her size.

“I didn’t really pay much attention…”

“You could have been hurt too, Saber,” she said worriedly. “I’m glad nothing happened to you.”

“It’s over with, and I am fine.” He climbed down from the sink and faced her. “Even if he was one of those giant, wild dragons, I wouldn’t have let him do that to you,” he said reassuringly and nudged her snout, making her blush. “C’mon. Let’s go relax and forget about it.”

Saber walked past her and out of the bathroom, giving Aislin a good view of his rear. She grinned and followed him into the living area and they watched the TV together on the couch, curled up on separate ends.

Aislin always thought Saber was a timid dragon, not one to be very courageous. But after what happened, she thought that he was fearless. There wasn’t a shadow of doubt in her mind that he would be her mate.

Now she just needed to find out when.

The third day of Saber’s training rolled on by. Aislin was too busy thinking about Saber to focus on the job, which helped a lot to pass the time, but she almost made a few mistakes. Luckily, Saber had caught them for her, and everything went over smoothly.

Saber improved faster than both William and Aislin had expected, though he couldn’t dress himself for the life of him. But Aislin enjoyed helping him into his suit. It gave her a reason to touch and be close to him. Saber was much more comfortable around Aislin now than what he used to be, so she could press him even further.

It was a busy day for them, leaving almost no down time between deliveries. If they could split up, they probably would have halved that time, but Saber still needed some time to get comfortable before going off on his own. Aislin didn’t want to separate from him at all.

After they were finished, they routinely undressed and returned to Aislin’s home with sore wings.

To Aislin’s disappointment, Saber dismissed himself once again from her company and retired for the night. She crawled up onto the couch, staring blankly at the TV as it played her now favorite channel, the cartoon one that Saber had showed her. She was deep in thought, her eyes letting the show roll by.

After what had happened this morning, she felt that she and Saber were much closer now, but he still didn’t make any forward movements with her no matter how many times she hinted that she wanted it. She dared to say that she loved him, hoping that it wouldn’t break her heart.

Aislin shook her head. Saber would never hurt me in any way. I can put all of my faith and trust into him, even if we don’t become mates. She nodded, deciding to hatch a new plan.

It was nearly an hour later before Aislin decided to finally go through with her new idea. It had a slim chance of working immediately, but it should get him at least thinking. She turned off the TV and hopped off of the couch, heading into Saber’s room.

When she opened the door, it sounded like he suddenly whirled around, and she hoped that she didn’t scare him. He stared at her with wide, crimson eyes from atop the bed, his back facing her.

“Aislin…”

She stepped into the room, immediately catching a strong whiff of his scent. Having spent almost three nights in here, it wasn’t unexpected for his scent to be all over things, but she thought it was rather strong compared to hers in her own room. She had to stop herself from sniffing the air.

“Can I sleep with you tonight? I don’t want to disturb you, but… I just… I’m still shaken up about this morning.”

Acting is all about timing, she thought amusingly to herself. Though she wasn’t far from the truth—it had been somewhat traumatic and painful –she could handle herself just fine. But why did Saber need to know that?

He glanced down really quick, acting a bit nervous. “I… erm… sure, but there’s not that much room up here.”

“That’s okay,” she replied, trying not to act like she knew that already. “I don’t mind.”

Saber smiled uneasily and shifted over for her. Aislin refrained from grinning too much and climbed up onto the soft bed with him. “Do you care if I curl up with you too?” she asked hopefully.

“N- No, not at all.” Aislin could tell that she was flustering him again, but every button she pushed made her goal one step closer. Plus, she thought he was rather cute when he was acting all uncomfortable like that.

As Saber lay down on his side, Aislin crawled between his legs until her back was against his underbelly. He hesitated before finally embracing her, laying a wing over her body while his forearm held her firmly against him, his paw flat against her chest. This was the second time Aislin melted within his grasp.

Everything felt so surreal, like a dream. His body was warm and comfortable, just like she imagined it. As he nestled his head against hers, she could hear his heavy breathing. She wondered if he could smell her scent like she could his. Her own breathing was extremely calm, her chest rising and falling steadily.

They adjusted and positioned themselves continually until they were lying perfectly side by side. Saber’s neck lay over hers while their heads were close together. His chest was pressed between her wings, and his forelegs wrapped around her body in an embrace. A hind leg rested over her haunches as his hind paw touched hers. His other foot pressed firmly against her rear, keeping some space between her body and his crotch.

But what made Aislin the most happy was when she intertwined her tail with his. He hesitated at first but did not resist as their tails coiled together.

Aislin sighed comfortably, feeling elated. “Thank you, Saber.”

He nuzzled her affectionately and replied, “Anytime.”

Aislin wanted to squeal with giddiness; she could hardly bear to control it. Her plan was working perfectly, even better than she predicted. She truly felt like she was his.

“Saber…”

“Hm?”

“What you said earlier,” she began, “what did you mean by ‘she’ is mine?’” she asked thoughtfully, thinking back to the morning.

“It sort of slipped out… I just didn’t want him to come after you again.”

Aislin grinned. There was something he was hiding from her that he didn’t want to admit. Maybe he already thinks of me as a mate.

“Thank you for being a really good friend,” she said.

“I should be saying the same to you,” he replied, flicking his tongue across her cheek. Aislin closed her eyes, feeling ecstatic. She had never been so intimate with anyone else before. The warm feelings in her chest felt all too surreal. She held his paw that grasped her chest, tenderly caressing it.

So many different thoughts wanted to race through Aislin’s head, but her mind was calm like a still pond, undisturbed. Lying with Saber seemed to make time itself slow down. She had never felt so happy before in her life.

It wasn’t long before Saber fell asleep, still tightly embracing Aislin. He slept peacefully without moving a muscle. Soon, Aislin closed her eyes and drifted off into sleep, joining him in slumber.

When Aislin woke the next morning, she was pleasantly surprised to feel Saber still wrapped around her. He was normally awake much earlier than her, but he seemed to have been content with sleeping in today. Neither of them moved much at all during the night. His embrace was looser and his wing shifted slightly off of her body, but he was still holding her and their tails were still intertwined.

Aislin noticed something new rubbing against her rear. It was warm and slick, sliding against her scales anytime he shifted slightly. She blushed, quickly realizing what it was.

The hind leg that he placed to keep his crotch away from her body had slid beneath her, so his erect cock now pressed firmly against her back.

Aislin was delighted.

She craned her neck around to look at him. He looked so peaceful with a slight grin curling at his cheeks. His snout was nestled against the base of her neck. A violet wing lay over her body like a blanket. She didn’t want to wake him up, but he soon began stirring on his own.

Saber inhaled deeply, prostrating his limbs while stretching the toes on his paws, and exhaled while adjusting his position. He shifted a bit, and then suddenly scrambled away from her. She turned to see him covering himself, his back pressed against the headboard. He turned his hind end away from her, looking horrified.

“Aislin, I- I’m so sorry! I didn’t know and I didn’t mean to!” he rambled embarrassingly.

She smirked at him. “I was wondering if you’d ever remove that thing from my rear.”

“It just happened… I couldn’t control it. I didn’t know…” He refused to meet her eyes. He looked away, ashamed and embarrassed.

Saber looked genuinely upset about it, and it made Aislin only want to comfort him. It almost hurt her to see him so humiliated with himself. She really wanted to give him a blowjob to help with that erection, but she thought that would be too forward. She could paw him off or something, just some friendly stimulation… but she wasn’t sure how he would handle that.

But this was also the best chance ever given to her. She had to take it.

“I can help you with that,” she offered casually.

Saber looked up at her, shocked by her response. He looked as if she just turned his world upside down. “W- What do you mean?”

She stood up on the bed and stepped over to him. She brushed her paw over his cheek, looking at him with lust-filled eyes. Her seductive touch slowly traced down his neck and down his body. “Just lie down and relax,” she soothed.

“I- If you really want to…” Saber gulped, unsure on how to continue. He just let Aislin have her way until he was sitting upright against the headboard with his legs splayed apart. Between his legs was his erect, pinkish cock, twitching above his loose orbs that rested on his tail.

Her eyes grew wide. His fleshy cock was larger than the other males she had mated, and his orbs looked as smooth as a human’s skin. A knot formed at the base of his ridged shaft, making Aislin feel butterflies in her stomach. She would have to take him at some point if they mated, and she wasn’t sure how painful it would be at first, but it would be so worth it.

Aislin took in the sight with a racing heart. She had been waiting so long just to see his exposed flesh, and now it was right in front of her, waiting to be touched and caressed. It took all of her self-control to keep from pouncing on him in a lustful fit. He looked at her with curious eyes, waiting to see if she would actually go through with it.

She reached out a black-scaled paw once she situated herself in front of him over his tail and gently caressed him. Saber’s body twitched. She teased him for a moment before adding her other paw, beginning to knead into his balls as well as his shaft.

Saber elicited a quiet moan as his toes curled on his blue-scaled hind paws. “That feels good,” he encouraged, looking adoringly into her dark-green eyes.

Aislin grinned and confidently massaged and rubbed his cock. She had never given a male this kind of attention before. She had orally pleased before, but never with her paw. Knowing that Saber was enjoying it reassured her. It made her happy to be pleasing another and not just herself, especially someone she cared about.

Her toes spread apart as she rubbed his member between them and against her soft paw pad. Her paw accumulated his slick lubrications, making it easier for her to slide up and down his shaft. She could feel his warmth radiating against her paw.

Saber grunted and occasionally bucked his hips, driving his member into her paw. His eyes were closed as she worked him up and down. As far as she knew, this was his first sexual contact with someone else, and she was glad to be his first.

Aislin smiled softly at him. He is too cute. Saber looked absolutely enraptured with his mouth hanging wide open. He panted and swiveled his hips uncontrollably. He would often wince and grunt pleasurably while she stroked him off.

Aislin dexterously used her toes to curl around his shaft so she could grip him. She pumped him up and down, a motion she saw other males doing to masturbate. Saber released a long, rumbling moan while his body swayed back and forth. She could feel ridges on the base of his shaft gliding against her soft paw pads, and she wondered what his cock would feel like inside of her. She imagined that it would feel amazing.

As she jerked him off, she stared lustfully between his legs. She had to resist the urge to taste him. His scent was powerful in her nostrils, making her head dizzy with arousal. Her crotch was warm, and her sex was itching with desire. She wished she could ask him to please her too, but she had to draw the line somewhere. This was just a friendly pawjob after all!

With her other paw, Aislin massaged and felt his stones. His balls were soft and squishy, though she was careful not to press too hard on them. Her paw groped and fondled him, drawing out his pleasure. Saber spread his legs wider, giving her more access to his crotch. She grinned and played with his loose orbs, separating one twin from the other. They would bounce in her paw as she jerked him off.

“Ohhh… Aislin, I think I’m g- going to cum,” he warned.

Aislin was disappointed—that was all too quick. She moved her paw up his shaft until she was using her thumb-toe to vigorously rub his tapered tip, making Saber groan with pleasure. She focused solely on his sensitive tip with one paw and his orbs in the other until his cock began pulsing within her grasp.

A thick rope of his seed suddenly spewed out of his tip and onto Aislin’s paw as he moaned loudly. It was quickly replaced by rapid spurts of his warm, gooey liquid that trickled down her forepaw and dribbled onto his belly. She could feel the strength of each throb coursing through his cock while she gripped him as his seed spilled into the open. Some of his ejaculations were stronger than the others, sending his liquid splattering against his chest.

Saber’s body writhed as his tail squirmed back and forth. She continued to stroke him as he came, feeling his pulsating length up and down. His orgasm lasted a long time compared to when Aislin masturbated. As his white, sticky seed coated her paw, she had to resist lapping it up. She wanted so badly to taste his flavor as the scent of his spunk tickled her nostrils, but she fought the urge.

Aislin reluctantly removed her paw once his orgasm had finished. She held it up, curiously eyeing the strings of his semen dripping off of it.

He smiled awkwardly. “Well… yes,” he admitted. “But I’ve never had a… an explosion like that before.”

Aislin grinned and hopped off of the bed. “It was my pleasure. Let’s go get cleaned up,” she said as she padded towards the bathroom. He followed her after apologizing for the mess, though she didn’t mind his mess one bit.

She led him to the shower, gesturing for him to step inside. It was a fairly large shower built for a dragon, and it was built like a glass enclosure. It was a flat, rectangular space with a single shower head on the wall in the center. She stepped inside as well, shutting the glass sliding door behind her and leaving little to no room left inside.

Saber looked at her nervously. “You’re coming in here with me?”

Aislin squeezed past and stepped ahead of him, turning the shower on with a few adjustments of a couple dials. “I need to clean myself too,” she replied. Water spouted out of the shower head. It was cold at first, but it quickly warmed up to a pleasant temperature.

“With me… right now?”

“Of course!” She quickly thought of an excuse and said, “I don’t want to waste water, and it’s your fault for making my paws dirty.”

“Oh,” was his terse reply. He didn’t seem upset about it, but he looked rather uncomfortable.

“You shouldn’t be so worried about us bathing together. After all, I just finished stroking you off—there’s not much to hide anymore,” she teased.

He smiled uneasily at her and replied, “I’ve just never been so intimate with someone else before. The pawjob was nice, but this… it seems like something mates would do.”

She playfully bumped against him. “We’re closer friends than most, right? Just don’t think about it too much.”

He looked at her thoughtfully and nodded.

Where Aislin used to live, there was a public shower that was out in the open without any bit of seclusion. The dragons there didn’t care much for privacy, so they used it freely and whenever, even if there were other dragons there. There were only two different spouts that poured out lukewarm water, so they took turns or showered together.

It wasn’t too tight of a fit inside Aislin’s shower—they could just barely stand side by side—but their bodies were constantly touching somewhere, much to Aislin’s joy. Saber hesitantly wetted himself, letting the water spray over his violet scales.

Aislin couldn’t help but to stare at him. His violet scales glistened from his head to the blue tip of his tail Water dripped off of his body, splattering down at this paws. He never even glanced at her, so she had the full opportunity to watch him bathe.

Saber’s forepaws traced over his body, spreading water to his underside where his scales were coated with his semen. He stretched, bending his torso down so he could reach his crotch and clean there too.

Aislin felt her cheeks flush with warm arousal. She turned away and began cleaning herself. She grabbed a bottle of soap that was specifically designed for dragons to increase scale shine. Then she realized that she never offered any to Saber, and he looked to be nearly done. She quickly held it out to Saber who accepted it and thanked her.

There was one thing she realized about applying the soap, and it was that dragons couldn’t quite reach some places on their bodies without help, mostly around their hind ends. She noticed Saber lathering it over the places he could reach easily until he struggled around his haunches. Another perfect opportunity to offer her friendly help with no sexual intent whatsoever!

“Need some help?” she asked casually.

Saber glanced at her, and she noticed his eyes dart over her body before he anxiously looked away. “Please.”

He stepped ahead of her as Aislin planted her forepaws on his rear, beginning to rub and knead it. She grinned happily, feeling his taught muscles flex and twitch while scrutinizing his hind end. Her paws traced down his legs until his blue-scaled hind paws. She eagerly had him lift his legs so she could rub the pads of his feet.

“A- Aislin… I think you’ve gotten it all,” he said timidly as she lifted his tail and rubbed the base of it.

“Almost,” she replied. The temptation was too much: she took a quick gander at his testicles before her touch glided down to the end of his tail until it was ‘cleaned.’ “Anywhere else?” she asked hopefully.

“No… I think you got it all,” he repeated uneasily.

She smiled and grabbed the soap bottle again, beginning to lather it over herself. “Can you help me as well?” she asked expectantly.

Saber blushed and looked at her. Aislin’s light-gray scales were soaked with water, glistening while water dripped from her, and the black scales along her back were glossy. She looked sleek and lithe while she cleaned herself. She knew that Saber was captivated by her body, and that made her genuinely happy.

“Y- Yes… sure thing…” He stepped behind her as she handed him the bottle. Aislin had to fight back instincts to keep from raising her tail. She wanted him to mount her and thrust his cock deep into her. As he began kneading into her hind end, she felt his paws feeling the roundness of her hips. She stifled a moan and clenched her teeth. I will not ruin this moment!

She knew if she did anything to make Saber feel any more awkward, he would stop where he was. As it was, she was perfectly content with him exploring her body, and she didn’t want it any other way. A paw grasped her inner thigh as he traced his touch down her leg, sending a pleasureful shiver through her. It felt like a deliberate movement too, almost as if he wanted to grope her there.

As his touch sensually traced down her leg, Aislin happily lifted her hind paw for him as he kneaded into her pads, massaging and cleaning her foot just like she had. It felt really pleasant and relaxing, and she wished he took a bit more time with it. He did the same to the other leg and stopped.

Disappointed, she looked behind her and said, “You missed my tail.” She couldn’t help but to lift it for him, and she saw his eyes bulge as he briefly glanced beneath it. He immediately jerked his head away, blushing while he only cleaned the mid-section of her tail to the tip. He didn’t dare go near the base, and she didn’t dare press him further. She already took it just a bit too far.

“Thank you, Saber,” she said kindly and finished rinsing herself off.

“You’re welcome…” he replied half-mindedly. Aislin turned the water off and they stepped out of the shower. She grabbed a couple towels and handed one to Saber. He grabbed it from her and began drying himself off. He looked ashamed of something and his eyes were avoiding her, making Aislin feel concerned.

Then, she saw the stiff erection between his legs as the towel moved away. She felt her cheeks flush again. Her hormones were toying with her atrociously, and she couldn’t control herself as her sex itched to be pleased. She tried to cast her desire aside and focused more on Saber. She hated to see him ashamed of himself.

“Saber, are you alright?”

He still refused to look at her. “I- I’m fine,” he lied. “I’ve just never…”

“Saber… you don’t have to hide anything from me. It’s perfectly natural to get an erection. You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself because of it.”

Aislin didn’t mind his flesh being exposed one bit. Not only did she get to see it and enjoy looking at it, it also reminded her that she was desirable: that he thought she was attractive.

“It’s not just that… it’s…” He turned his head and his sincere, crimson eyes met hers. “You’re beautiful, Aislin,” he stated honestly. “I can’t be around you without fighting the urge to mate with you. I let my lust get the better of me, and I touched you where I shouldn’t have.” He glanced away and awkwardly fiddled with his paws.

Saber continued, “You’re too beautiful for me, and you make my heart yearn to be yours. You’ve given me nothing but kindness, and I’ve squandered it. I knew you’ve wanted to mate with me… but I don’t deserve you, Aislin—I am weak. I’ve been too frightened to begin a relationship with you because I’m scared… I’m scared I will hurt you. I don’t want to ever hurt you.”

Aislin blushed, taken aback. At a loss for words, she couldn’t think of anything to say. He poured out his heart to her, and all she could muster was, “Saber…”

“I’m sorry… I just… I couldn’t hold it in any longer. I’ve done nothing but use you… I’ll take my leave before I hurt you.” He began walking away with his head and tail drooping low. He looked defeated and depressed, and that gave her a painful feeling in her chest.

Aislin stood stunned as he walked out of the bathroom. She thought for a brief moment over his words and realized, You haven’t used me once, you polite idiot!

Then she suddenly whirled around and chased after him, catching him in the middle of the living room. She pounced on him as he yelped and pinned him on his back. She had one of his wings held down by her forepaw while she rose intimidatingly over him, flaring her wings slightly.

She growled angrily at Saber. “If you leave me now, you’ll hurt me more than you ever could,” she hissed. “You’re a blithering idiot when it comes to relationships, and you think too much about others.” Saber looked at her with shock. “I… love you, Saber,” she admitted, beginning to calm down. She loosened her grip, but she still stood aggressively over him.

“You’ve brought me nothing but joy these last few days. I’ve never felt so happy before,” Tears filled her eyes, threatening to fall any moment. “You gave me purpose again… and I want to be your mate. Please, don’t leave me.” Aislin’s body fell to his as she lay on top of him, and she began to cry. “If you love me too, don’t leave me, Saber…”

“I won’t leave you.” Saber embraced her with his unpinned wing, comforting her lovingly. He was silent for a moment, looking at her thoughtfully. “Do you really want this? To be my mate?” he asked anxiously.

“I want this Saber,” she answered definitely, burying her snout into his neck. “Even when I had only first met you, I knew I wanted this.” She wanted so badly to hide her tears from him. She didn’t want him to see her weakness. But she swallowed her pride and looked up at him and into his adoring, crimson eyes. “It would mean the world to me.”

“Aislin… I don’t know what to say.” He stared into her glistening, dark-green eyes, searching for an answer. “I’ve never been someone else’s mate… you’re the closest friend I’ve ever had.”

“How about we don’t say anything?” she said, smiling softly. She nuzzled him affectionately and gently licked his cheek. “Let’s just mate,” she whispered.

His eyes grew wide as he perked up. “M-Mate? Right now?”

Aislin nodded, wiped her tears, and confidently stepped off of him, swaggering towards her bedroom just some steps away. This time she raised her tail without a care, briefly showing off her female sex to Saber.

He scrambled to his paws and padded quickly to her with no more questions. They hopped up onto the bed together, and Aislin lay on her back. She immediately spread her legs for him, presenting herself without guilt or hesitation. This was what she had been waiting for.

Saber sat at the end of her bed, staring directly at her exposed slit between her light-gray thighs. Aislin curled her tail between his forelegs and rubbed his hardening member hanging limply from his sheath. The tip brushed over his soft length, making him flinch and groan as it grew and hardened. She coiled her tail around his cock and rubbed his balls with the end of it.

For a moment he was completely captivated, continuing to stare at her crotch while she aroused him, but Aislin beckoned for him to join her, so he crawled between her legs until their snouts touched lovingly. She held him tenderly, wrapping her forearms around his torso while holding his flanks with her thighs as her hind paws rested on his rear.

Aislin rubbed the tip of her snout to his and licked him as they cuddled affectionately. He returned with gentle caresses and nibbles. Arousal was beginning to cloud Aislin’s mind as her instincts drove her forward. His warm body pressed to hers, and she could feel his hard, slick member sliding against her slit. He graciously waited for her to give the go ahead. She was enthralled with the intimacy being shared between them, but she couldn’t wait to be satisfied. Lust spurred her forward.

“Mate with me, Saber,” she cooed softly and watched him eagerly position himself. Now that they had no inhibitions left, Saber was more than willing to mate. He seemed to be much more confident. She spread her legs wide, staring between them as he backed up and pressed his tapered tip to her entrance.

Aislin moaned and winced as he penetrated her body. Her soft walls stretched tightly around his cock as the first few inches slipped into her. Her cheeks heated warmly. Saber groaned pleasurably and lustfully licked the base of her neck. He nuzzled and reassured her, slowly pushing deeper. He took his time so her sex could make room for his large girth, much to her relief. Her toes curled as his knot pushed firmly against her entrance; pressure welled inside her sex.

Saber paused there for a moment and looked admiringly into Aislin’s dark-green eyes. His soft, caring expression made her heart want to leap out of her chest after him. She held the back of his head and guided his snout to hers, bringing him in for a kiss.

She didn’t quite know how to do it, and neither did he, so they clumsily mouthed at each other, licking and lapping at each other’s tongues and mouths. Though it probably looked ridiculous, it was the thought that counted.

After they finished their first attempt at kissing, Saber began withdrawing his cock. She groaned, feeling his thick member sliding out of her expanded vent. He was about half-way before he quickly thrust back into her, making Aislin wince and grunt. Her grip tightened around his violet scales. He repeated the motion again and again until he had a quick but gentle pattern in his thrusts. Her secretions made it easier and easier for him until his movements were fluidly smooth.

Aislin cooed and moaned encouragingly beneath him while gently massaging his shoulders. Every drive of his hips sent pleasure reeling through her, and all she had to do was lie back and take it. She held onto his back firmly while kneading into his taught muscles. She intertwined her tail with his and watched him with ecstasy.

A determined expression scrunched Saber’s features as he panted and humped her. His grunts and moans were just as numerous as hers. Aislin could faintly hear his hips slapping against her. She looked between their legs, watching his length disappear and reappear. He was delving deeper than when he had started, pushing through her folds until his knot stopped him. Her slit bulged when he filled her, expanding for his thick cock.

Soon, Saber’s thrusts gained more speed until he was jouncing Aislin’s body against the bed. The bed creaked with each push as Aislin cried out her lusts. She gripped his flanks tightly with her hind legs to keep her hind from bouncing too much. She could feel his ridges rubbing against the base of her entrance before they were lost in her tight folds, and they made her toes curl with delight.

Aislin’s body rocked back and forth with Saber, moving to a quick, steady rhythm. Their connected sex squelched as their hips met with wet slaps. Her slick and slimy secretions made it easy for him to hastily slide in and out so that he could press into her deeper and faster.

Saber looked like he was nearly ready to climax. His face was wrinkled with pleasure as his breaths were ragged and filled with husky groans. His head was lowered and his eyes were closed. Aislin smiled and nuzzled him lovingly, moaning encouragingly into his ear.

Aislin wasn’t sure how much longer she would last. His constant humping was sending pleasure burning throughout her loins. She was close, and she could feel her sex churning, her walls beginning to undulate around his penetrating length. She wanted to hold out for Saber, and she was surprised he lasted this long. Although time felt like it was moving quickly, only a few minutes had passed.

But then Saber suddenly began pounding roughly against her, growling and snarling in a fit of pleasure. His length pulsed heavily as thick strings of his seed spewed into her vent. Aislin moaned with him, feeling his warmth trickling through her sex. Her vent clasped tightly around his cock, squeezing him firmly. He smashed his hips against hers, and his knot pushed firmly against her entrance, but it never penetrated her—she was too tight.

Aislin growled lustfully as her orgasm rushed through her body. She clenched her toes and held onto Saber closely, feeling pleasure burst throughout her loins. Her walls pulsated around his throbbing member, drawing more seed from his length as his climax came to an end. He collapsed on her as her orgasm massaged and milked his length. She moaned and threw her head back, relishing in the pleasureful feelings coursing through her. Her legs wrapped around him, holding him snugly against her. It wasn’t long before her pleasure faded and was replaced by fatigue and satisfaction.

Aislin panted heavily and so did Saber. He nestled his snout beneath her head, affectionately nuzzling her. She smiled softly and rubbed the back of his neck.

“That felt amazing, Saber,” she said happily. She could feel his length softening inside of her twitching depths while they remained connected at the hips.

“I’m so glad I could share that moment with you.” He raised his head and looked adoringly into her eyes. “I’m sorry for being so foolish before.”

“I forgive you.” Aislin grinned and brought him in for another kiss. She closed her eyes as their lips pressed together and their tongues touched. Saber cocked his head and parted his maw. Aislin’s mouth opened and their maws locked while their tongues explored. They were much more successful this time.

Aislin felt her chest warm with love as she sensually caressed his body while they exchanged saliva. She knew why the humans did it so much now. Kissing Saber made her heart soar with elation. When they finally broke apart, Aislin felt a calm sensation course through her body like a warm, pleasant wave.

“Wow,” Saber said with a bright smile. He must have felt it too.

Aislin grinned with him, nudging her snout against his. She closed her eyes and relaxed while massaging and caressing Saber’s body. He returned with sensual strokes along her flanks.

They cuddled together for some time, sharing their love with tender affection. When they finally separated, they rested on the couch together with Aislin in Saber’s arms while they watched TV.

Aislin had never felt so happy before in her life. Lying there with Saber was calming and thrilling at the same time. She didn’t even pay attention to the cartoons. She finally had someone she could share love with. Before they had mated, Saber was too afraid to touch her, but now he had no reason to be. They were free to be as intimate as they wanted.

Time sped by quickly, and they were soon on their way to work. They reluctantly flew out into the cold afternoon skies, leaving the warm comfort of their bodies.

Thanks to our lovely moderator, Daedalus, for pointing out the "spoiler" function to me, I can now put all of that text in a little box.

More sexy and naughty stuff! Aka, Chapter 4. (I screwed up the chapter divisions, so I'm going to end up posting more chapters on here than I thought.)

They arrived on time to work and found Rhona and Kale in the locker room when they went to dress. The white-scaled dragoness looked up and smiled, and Kale greeted them casually while he undressed. Rhona hadn’t even started undressing yet while Kale looked nearly done.

“Hey, good timing! Can you help me, Saber? Kale usually unclips my suit, but he’s being stubborn.”

Saber blushed while Aislin glared. “Uhm… sure,” he replied. Saber walked over and helped her. Aislin scowled unhappily as she watched Rhona’s tail lift ever so slightly as he bent down and pulled off the lower part of her suit. She was grinning immensely while Saber awkwardly fumbled with his paws, trying to unfasten the other clips along her body. It made Aislin’s blood boil.

As Saber finished, she thanked him, and he immediately returned to Aislin’s side. “Sorry,” he whispered, noticing Aislin’s discontent.

Rhona folded her uniform and inquiringly asked, “So, are you two living together? I noticed that you both arrived here at the exact same time today and a couple days ago.”

“What’s it to you?” Aislin grumbled. She began dressing in the corner of the locker room with Saber next to her. After she was done, she helped Saber with the final steps, making sure that Rhona noticed that he was much more comfortable with Aislin than her. He was getting better at dressing himself, and could almost do it without help, much to Aislin’s disappointment.

“Well, Kale and I need some time away from each other,” she said, glancing angrily at the golden-scaled dragon in the opposite corner of Aislin. “And I was wondering if you had any more room for me.”

Aislin shook her head. No. Not in a thousand years. Not ever.

“I don’t mind if I have to sleep on the floor, either. I just need a place out of the cold for a few days.”

Saber looked at Aislin with a look that said, “You did it for me, and we have room. There’s nothing wrong with her staying as long as we keep to ourselves.”

Aislin sighed, unhappily giving in to Rhona’s request. “Fine, but I want you out of there as soon as possible.”

Rhona grinned happily and ran up and nuzzled Aislin. “Thank you!”

Aislin recoiled slightly and smiled uneasily. “If you meet us back here at ten, we’ll show you the way.”

Rhona nodded eagerly. “I will be back then!” She trotted victoriously away and left them.

“What’s wrong this time, Kale?” Aislin asked. He just finished folding his suit together and was preparing to leave.

He smiled amusingly at her and answered, “I wasn’t giving her enough attention, so she got angry. She’ll come back to me in a day or two, though, so don’t worry.”

“I hope so,” she replied.

Kale left Saber and Aislin alone, and they soon finished dressing.

“Is that what mates are supposed to do?” Saber asked.

She smiled softly at him and shook her head. “They’re not mates like us. They’re together for the mating, not because they love each other.”

He smiled brightly. “So we get to have fun doing both?”

Aislin laughed happily and nodded.

Working was hardly the same that day. Despite thinking about Rhona living with her and Saber, Aislin smiled way more than normal and acted as if a great burden had been lifted off of her. She felt free.

William noticed this and commented, “You’re acting awfully cheerful today, Ash.” The dragoness was just about to leave with Saber on another delivery. She had been happily chatting away with a big, toothy grin. “I’ve never seen ya so talkative.”

She looked at William and replied, “I don’t really have a reason to be unhappy anymore.”

He grinned at her. “Really? And why’s that?”

Aislin glanced at Saber. “Just ‘cause,” she tersely retorted and shrugged her wings.

William shook his head and chuckled to himself as they left.

Aislin couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. The sun was shining brightly, descending over the western horizon. It glowed with a beautiful orange light. Despite having a lot of deliveries to make, she enjoyed working today since Saber, her mate, was at her side.

Saber acted like his usual self, but Aislin could tell that he felt free too. There weren’t any awkward moments between them as he was now much more comfortable with her. Both of them could talk freely to another, unhindered by discomfort.

When they returned from their final delivery, Rhona was waiting for them. Aislin grumbled to herself and routinely undressed with Saber while Rhona chatted away with him. Saber was polite and talkative, too, but Aislin could tell that he just wanted for Rhona to leave him alone.

The trio flew in the brisk and chilly night air and was soon landing on the fifth floor landing area. Aislin had directed Rhona there, making sure she would know how to return by herself since she didn’t have the same schedule as her and Saber.

“The code is 5427,” Aislin said, tapping in the digits. The door’s lock clicked open and they walked inside. “And here’s my room: 504. I leave it unlocked, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

Rhona followed them inside and looked around with wide eyes. “You live in a place like this? This is amazing, Ash. Kale and I lived in a ratty old shack…”

Saber excused himself and went into Aislin’s room to retire for the night. Aislin felt disappointed, as she was hoping they would mate again tonight, but she was comforted by the fact that they would have plenty more opportunities.

Aislin showed Rhona the bedroom she would be sleeping in—Saber’s old room. It still smelled of his scent and it tickled her nostrils pleasantly. “You can sleep in here.”

Rhona sniffed and walked in, flaring her nostrils with a delightful hum. “Isn’t this Saber’s room?”

“It was Saber’s room,” Aislin explained, not happy that she was enjoying his scent.

“Where is he sleeping now?”

“With me in my room,” Aislin stated matter-of-factly.

“Wait… You two?” Rhona asked, surprised.

Aislin nodded proudly. “Saber and I are mates.”

Disappointment etched across Rhona’s face. “Oh, I see.” Aislin felt a bit of satisfaction from that.

Then, she showed Rhona the bathroom next to the kitchen. “And you’re welcome to the food in the fridge. I need to get some more tomorrow, so help yourself.”

Rhona smiled sincerely, which shocked Aislin, and thanked her. “I appreciate this, Ash. I know we don’t get along too well, but I’m hoping that will change.”

Aislin nodded and grinned uneasily. “Yeah… no problem.”

Rhona bid Aislin goodnight and closed Saber’s old door behind her.

Aislin crawled into bed with Saber not too much later, and they cuddled lovingly. Saber was much more comfortable with it than the first time, and now Aislin didn’t need an excuse!

Her thoughts roamed from one place to the other, and then they finally settled on her and Saber. She realized that since they were mates, they could live together. He wouldn’t have to find his own place. Then, she also realized that they could afford their current apartment with their combined wages. They could extend the lease, maybe even pay monthly.

“Hey, Saber?”

He seemed to have nearly been asleep. He took in a deep breath and shifted. “Hmm?”

“You want to live here with me, right?”

“Of course!”

“We can stay here since we can pay the rent with our combined wages. We won’t have to leave in a few months.”

He hugged her tightly. “I’d like that more than anything.”

Aislin smiled happily. Most of their money would go to the apartment, and the rest to food. They wouldn’t have much left over for luxuries, but they had each other anyway.

She quickly fell asleep, comforted and content.

Aislin abruptly woke early the next morning, finding Saber already stepping out of the bed. She grinned and saw him glancing at his morning wood. She could smell his scent too, but something wasn’t right…

Then, she realized that her sex was also acting up. Despite having Saber’s strong, masculine aroma in her nostrils, she could vividly smell her own scent. In fact, it was overpowering his, filling her nostrils with her earthy, pungent odor. With a brief lift of her leg, she looked at her crotch and saw that her vent was swollen. Her loins were warm and an itch nagged at her crotch.

Aislin was in heat.

She cursed silently, worry and anxiety creeping into her mind. Female dragons had fairly predictable heat cycles, give or take a week, but she was a few weeks too early! Before she began panicking, she told herself to calm down.

She didn’t have to be uncomfortable around Saber; since they were mates, it was something they would have encountered anyway. But if they mated, then there was a very high chance of him impregnating her. She wasn’t sure if she wanted that, let alone whether or not Saber wanted that too. But to not mate with him during this time… that would be pure torture!

As soon as Saber woke, he must have known that she was in heat. There was no way he didn’t.

“Oh, good morning, Aislin,” he said casually, noticing that she was awake. He shifted and hid his erect length from view. Thankfully, he sounded completely undisturbed, but she couldn’t help but to feel anxious.

“Morning…” She gulped and shifted uncomfortably. An itch gnawed at her loins. “You noticed?”

He smiled uneasily and nodded. “It’s kind of hard not to.”

Aislin grimaced and sighed unhappily. She wouldn’t be able to hide it from anyone. She would have to work while in the throes of her cycle. She wasn’t sure whether or not humans could smell a dragoness in heat—she was sure they could—but it would be embarrassing nevertheless, especially if she was around other dragons too. This most certainly wasn’t the first time she had dealt with this, but it was a troubling pain every time. She always worried about it.

She weakly grinned at him. “Thanks Saber, but it’s not just you I’m worried about. I reek and will continue to smell like this for a few days. Dragons will probably notice my scent from a mile away, and humans will wonder what smells.”

“It’s just a natural part of life. There’s no need to be embarrassed about it.”

“Says the one who flipped out because he had an erection,” she retorted.

He grimaced. “I’m not a good example. But the city’s odors should cover up your scent so that only those near you can smell you.”

“That’s not very reassuring.”

“You could bathe and use some of those perfumes that humans wear to try and mask it.”

Bathing was something Aislin had thought of, but she had never considered wearing perfume. “I don’t have any perfume…”

“I’ll go get you some,” Saber replied assuredly. “I was going to go out anyway, so I’ll just stop and pick some up.”

Aislin jumped down from the bed and reached beneath it, finding her coinpurse. She handed it to Saber. “You’ll need this.”

Saber nodded and hung it around his neck. He turned to leave, and just as he was about to shut the door, Aislin said, “And Saber…”

He turned back around. “Hm?”

“Thank you,” she said sincerely.

He smiled and nodded once and left, closing the door.

Aislin’s powerful scent filled her room, and to her dismay she realized that Rhona was staying with her and Saber as well. It wouldn’t be long before the white dragoness noticed Aislin’s scent.

Aislin grumbled to herself and climbed back onto the bed. She curled up and tried to sleep it off, but her itching loins would not allow her that luxury. After tossing and turning for nearly half-an-hour, Aislin swore and decided to satisfy herself, if only for some time.

She lay on her back with her shoulders resting on the headboard. She spread her legs apart, grimacing at the sight of her expanded and puffy sex. With a gentle touch, she caressed the soft, light-gray scales surrounding her warm vent. Already, she could feel her slimy secretions coating her toes as she circled around her slit. She stroked the pink flesh between her nether lips, feeling her sex twitch invitingly.

Aislin usually liked to start off her masturbating by teasing herself, but she couldn’t even wait that long. She needed something thick inside of her to satisfy the fiery desire deep in her loins.

She curled her tail and pressed the tip to her swollen entrance. She lubricated the tip of her tail with her own secretions and guided it into her slit. Aislin stifled a moan and clenched her toes, feeling her tail slipping into her soft folds inch by inch. The tip spread apart her walls, making way for the rest of it to follow. Her sex squeezed around it tightly as it slithered into her.

Aislin blushed and winced as she pushed all the way up to her cervix, feeling pressure filling her. She wiggled her tail to draw out more pleasure and bit her lip. If she was too loud, she was afraid that Rhona would notice. The last thing she wanted was for her to assume something or even walk in and see Aislin masturbating!

With a firm grip around her tail, Aislin began pulling it out and thrusting it back in. Her toes clenched as pleasure burst through her loins. She spread her legs wider, enjoying the pleasant feeling of her tail wriggling deep inside her sex.

She imagined that Saber was mating her again and that her tail was his thick cock. She pulled her tail out until the tip was barely inside her entrance. She saw strings of her secretions coating several inches of it before she pushed it back in. She repeated the motion again and again until she was steadily masturbating.

With a low, suppressed growl, Aislin elicited her pleasure. Her tail slid quickly in and out, her sex squelching as it filled her. It felt similar to a male rutting her, but it wasn’t quite the same. She wiggled the tip of her tail, rubbing it against her warm, sensitive folds. She found a sweet spot nestled deep inside her sex, focusing on rubbing herself there. She groaned a little as pleasure flourished in her body. The more she pleasured herself, the more her heat seemed to fade away.

Aislin rolled onto her side with her hind leg hanging in the air. She used only her tail muscles to push and pull while her paw caressed her clitoris. Her toe rubbed and kneaded into the erect pearl, drawing a warm wave of pleasure through her loins. She wasn’t nearly as fast or steady using just her tail, but with the combined pleasure that her paw provided, it was more than enough to thrill her.

She was close to her orgasm now: she could feel her walls clasping around her tail, gripping it tightly as her muscles twitched sporadically. A light moan escaped her lips. Aislin moved her body with the thrusts of her tail, squirming and pushing against it. Her head bloomed with pleasure as the last few drives of her tail sent her reeling.

Aislin growled, wincing and blushing as she felt her blissful climax burst through her body. Her sex clenched her tail tightly, undulating around it as she pressed the tip against her cervix. More of her secretions oozed out of her clasping entrance with the pulsations of her walls. She clenched her toes and moaned lightly, satisfaction replacing her lust. She rubbed her clitoris in circles, drawing out her pleasureful orgasm.

It wasn’t long before her orgasm ended. Aislin sighed happily with relief, her heat satiated for a short while. She removed her tail, noticing that it was coated in her slick and slimy liquid. She wiped it on the bed without any care and lay comfortably on her side, content with sleeping without cleaning herself.

Aislin felt completely satisfied for now, and drowsiness set in. She fell asleep within minutes.

When she awoke again, it was when Saber opened the door and stepped inside her room. Aislin’s heat was slightly nagging at her, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as before. She shifted and groaned, drowsily waking up.

“Sorry for waking you,” Saber apologized, returning her coinpurse beneath the bed. He held a plastic bag and reached inside of it, withdrawing a small glass bottle.

“Thank you, Saber,” Aislin said and took it from him. Beneath the brand name it read Bubblegum. She stared at it with horror. “Please tell me you have another one.”

Saber jumped up onto the bed with her and looked at her questioningly. “What do you mean?”

“Saber… do you know what bubblegum smells like?”

He nuzzled her comfortingly and replied, “I smelled a lot of them before I picked that one out. I thought it smelled the best…” He sounded and looked disappointed. He didn’t want to displease her and did his best to make her happy, but he realized that he failed.

That made Aislin cringe on the inside. He only acted to please me. He doesn’t realize that candy smells aren’t for normal wear.

She affectionately nuzzled him back and said, “It will be fine. I like the smell of bubblegum, too, but it’s not a perfume that you wear every day. It smells like candy, and most human females smell like flowers.”

“Oh.” He still looked displeased with himself, and Aislin couldn’t bear to see that.

She nestled her snout against his neck and hugged him with a wing. “Thank you, Saber. I really do appreciate it.” He hugged her back, seeming to have cheered up a bit.

“What were you going to town for besides my perfume?” she asked curiously. Saber never traveled by himself before. She was always at his side whenever they went into town.

“Oh… I-uh… I thought about what you said last night, so I was looking around for another job to pick up.”

“Saber… you don’t have to do that. We’ll have plenty of money to live comfortably,” she said worriedly. Not only did she want for him to have to work harder, she also didn’t want him to lose time with her.

“It helps to have a back-up, but I was just looking anyway. I still have to learn my current job.”

Aislin smiled and leaned her head against him. “Just don’t do anything stupid without consulting me first.”

He grinned and nuzzled her happily.

After a while, Saber left to use the restroom. Aislin hopped down from the bed and grabbed her coinpurse. She was curious how much she had left after Saber had bought her perfume. Before he left, she had one-hundred-and-seventy-three dollars, and as she counted it she found that that number hadn’t changed. Then, she checked the plastic bag for a receipt. There wasn’t one.

Aislin knew Saber wasn’t one to steal, but how did he come by this without spending any money? She sighed, giving up the mystery before she even started. At this moment, she didn’t care. She wanted to rid herself of her own stench. With the bubblegum perfume in her paw, she exited the room to go take a shower.

Thankfully, it was past ten o’ clock, meaning that Rhona was already at work. Aislin didn’t have to worry about her just yet. Saber exited the restroom and climbed onto the couch to watch the TV. Aislin passed him on the way, bumping into him playfully, and then stepped into the shower. She sighed happily as warm water rushed over her scaled body. It was relaxing.

When she was done, she dried off and sprayed herself with perfume. The scent of bubblegum soon filled her nostrils. She sighed. She didn’t enjoy smelling like candy, but at least it was something other than herself.

Aislin joined Saber on the couch. He wrapped his forearms around her and happily nuzzled her neck. “You smell nice,” he complimented.

“Thanks.” She grinned, content to be in his warm embrace. Spending the rest of the afternoon with him calmed Aislin down quite a bit. Instead of constantly dreading going to work, she only felt slightly anxious. As long as she was with Saber, she would be okay.

Saber and Aislin departed for work after Aislin sprayed a little more perfume on herself. She hoped it would be enough to mask her scent, though she wished it wasn’t such a unique smell.

They arrived on time, passing by Rhona on her way back, and began dressing once they were in the locker room. Saber was now able to dress himself fully besides the one pesky clip just above his shoulders. Aislin helped him with that, and finished dressing herself. To her dismay, she found that the flight suit rubbed against her nethers unpleasantly. It aggravated her itch and her irritated slit complained. She awkwardly tried to adjust the fabric covering her crotch, but it didn’t help at all.

“Anything I can do?” Saber asked with concern.

Aislin was frustrated, but she managed to flash him a brief smile. “No. Thanks, Saber.”

He nuzzled her affectionately. “Just let me know.”

The evening went by quickly—Aislin hardly noticed it. But as the sun descended and her workday continued, she noticed that the perfume’s scent was wearing off and being replaced by her own. I should have brought the damn bottle with me, she thought irritably.

And having Saber along wasn’t as great of an idea as she had originally thought. The more time she spent near him, the more lust she felt, and the more her sex itched with desire. But the worst part was that she was dragging him into it too.

Before they were about to leave on another errand, she saw his suit bulging at his crotch. Desire welled within her. She could see the outline of his erect cock pressing firmly against the stretchy material. She wanted nothing less than to have him mount her right there and now.

Aislin shook her head, trying to shake her lustful thoughts from her mind. They would only get her in trouble.

He desperately tried to coax it down, but it was a vain attempt. Aislin felt sorry for him and hated her heat even more. It was her fault that he was aroused.

“I’ll deliver this one myself, Saber. Take a break for a bit.”

“What? No, I want to come with you,” he insisted.

“You have a very noticeable erection. I don’t think you want to expose yourself like that if you don’t have to.”

He shook his head and stood beside her. “If you can do it, then I can do it. I won’t leave your side.”

“Saber…”

“Where are we going?” he asked assertively.

Aislin sighed, but a slight grin curled at her lips. “I didn’t know you could be such a pain.”

He playfully bumped his rear into hers. “You’ll get used to it.”

Thankfully, no one really seemed to notice them. And lucky for Saber, his erection was only temporary. They finished up their deliveries and clocked out a bit earlier than normal. It was a rather slow night, leaving Aislin to mope around miserably until they were finally able to leave.

Aislin tried her best to appear happy, but Saber wasn’t easily fooled. He comforted her whenever he could, giving her nothing but loving attention.

As they were flying home, Aislin said, “I really appreciate you, Saber. You’ve been very helpful and kind to me today.”

He smiled cheerfully at her. “There’s nothing else I’d rather do.”

She grinned in return, feeling her lust returning to her. This time she didn’t want to shake it off. There wasn’t any point in suppressing it anymore, and she couldn’t wait to return home. Maybe she could convince him to please her in some way, since mating normally could implicate things.

When they returned, Rhona was on the couch fiddling with the TV remote. The TV was turned on, but it had nothing but a black screen.

Rhona chuckled nervously and greeted them. “I tried to turn it on… but it wouldn’t work.”

Aislin laughed and took the remote from her. She tapped a few buttons, and the screen came on. It was on some strange channel she’d never seen before, so she changed it to her and Saber’s favorite. She showed Rhona how to use it, only explaining a few different buttons. It wasn’t all that hard. Once Saber had explained it to her, Aislin never had trouble again.

Rhona thanked her. Then, her nostrils flared and she took a few quick breaths. “Aislin… Are you in heat?”

Aislin sighed and nodded.

“Oh, sorry. If you two want to go do your thing, don’t let me hold you back! You can be as loud as you want too. It won’t bother me any.”

Aislin and Saber both blushed. “Uh… Yeah. Thanks, Rhona,” Aislin said and walked with Saber to her bedroom. She closed the door shut and climbed up onto the bed with him. They snuggled together with Aislin wrapped in his caring embrace. Her heat was nagging at her to mate with him, but she tried to ignore it. Still, the same question ran through her mind: Do we want to have a hatchling?

As she lay there thinking, she felt Saber’s hard length poke into her rear. He twitched and his grasp tightened around her. Aislin bit her lip and suppressed a groan. Her sex was warm and moist, begging to be satisfied.

Saber’s forepaws traced down her curvy flank and over the smooth scales along her belly. His sensual touch tenderly caressed her lower and lower until she was lifting her leg for him, exposing her swollen sex.

Wordlessly, he reached her crotch with one paw. Aislin lightly moaned her approval as his soft, gentle touch rubbed against her sensitive slit. He rubbed her nether lips lightly, circling around her entrance. Her secretions coated his toes, making his movements glide over her soft scales.

Aislin could hear Saber’s breathing coming and going deeply, and she could feel his cock throbbing against her hind. She wanted to satisfy him, too, but she was too enraptured with his pleasureful fondling.

From one end of her slit to the other, he stroked her sensitive pink flesh with his digit. Aislin held the forepaw grasping her chest, affectionately caressing him while he pleasured her. Then, his finger slipped into her folds as he penetrated her. Aislin blushed and winced, feeling his claw sliding against her soft walls. He was gentle and careful, and he managed to not jab her.

As he lightly fingered her, she felt pleasure welling within her loins. “Oh Saber! That feels good!” she cooed and lovingly licked the top of his head. Encouraged, Saber moved his paw faster, making Aislin moan again. Whether he knew it or not, his soft paw pads were brushing against her erect clitoris, sending waves of blissful pleasure through Aislin. It made her squirm with delight as her toes curled.

Saber pulled his body closer to hers, rubbing himself on her rear, overcome with arousal. He nuzzled her neck and lovingly licked beneath her cheekbone. His other paw stroked from her belly to her chest repeatedly.

Aislin breathed in deep, ragged gasps as Saber relentlessly continued to finger and caress her sex. She clawed at the air, squirming with pleasure. Aislin could hardly contain herself while her orgasm drew closer. In her loins, she felt that pent up pleasure waiting to release. She wouldn’t hold out for much longer.

“Oh, S- Saber… I’m close!” she moaned and winced. Her sex clasped tightly around his penetrating digit as Saber dared to push into her further. His movements were quick and thrilling, bringing Aislin over the edge.

Aislin’s muscles tightened as she clawed the bed with both her forepaws. Her orgasm rushed through her body, bringing nothing but blissful pleasure as Saber masturbated her. She cooed and moaned, failing to keep quiet. He withdrew his toe, but continued to rub and massage her vent with an open paw. With Aislin’s added secretions, his touch slid effortlessly around her slit in circles. Her walls undulated and pulsated around nothing as her slimy liquid oozed from her entrance.

As Aislin came down from her climax, she felt Saber still gently caressing her. Her sensitive sex twitched as she smiled happily. She felt satisfied.

“Thank you… that felt amazing,” she said. Then, she remembered his ailment poking into her back. She tried to move so she could begin pleasuring him, but Saber hugged her in a tight grasp, refusing to let go.

Aislin turned her head and looked at him curiously. “Don’t you want to be pleasured too?”

“That was just for you,” he replied and nuzzled her. “As much as I would enjoy it, I must respectfully decline this time. I had my fun pleasuring you.”

Aislin peered at him, confused, but shook her head, deciding that he made up his mind for a reason. The smell of her own arousal tickled her nostrils, but she was too tired to care. Aislin closed her eyes, drifting off to sleep while Saber lovingly caressed her.

Aislin woke up early the next morning, finding Saber not to be with her. Again, her incessant heat pestered her greatly, and it didn’t help that she didn’t bathe last night. Reluctantly, she climbed out of bed and headed to the shower. Saber was lying on the couch with Rhona, and they were both chatting away while watching cartoons. That irked Aislin.

“Good morning,” Saber said.

“I see you’re both having fun,” she responded.

Rhona nodded eagerly. “I never realized how entertaining TVs were. Saber was showing me a few different channels, but this one is my favorite.”

Aislin muttered to herself as she walked past to the kitchen, trying not to appear displeased. Before she took a shower, she wanted something to eat. She didn’t have food last night either.

She opened the fridge door and found only one slab of meat left. I forgot to buy more. Aislin sighed hopelessly and grabbed the last package. Saber had noticed her plight before it even began. He walked into the kitchen with her coinpurse around his neck.

“I’ll go and buy some more.”

“You don’t have to do that,” Aislin said. “I was supposed to get some yesterday, but I forgot. I’ll get some more today.”

He shook his head. “I’ll do it,” he insisted.

Aislin sighed again. “Okay,” she conceded. “Do you know where to go?”

He nodded.

“Bring back twelve packages for now. Should be enough for two days or more for all of us.”

He nodded again and turned to leave. “I’ll be back later. I also have a few errands to run.”

Aislin wondered what “errands” he could possibly have, but she trusted him and didn’t really care. “Thank you, Saber.”

He left, and Aislin finished eating. After she was done with that, she climbed into the shower and washed away her stench. The soap she used also had a lovely scent of lavenders to it, an aroma she would prefer over bubblegum, but it didn’t linger nearly long enough.

Aislin dried off, not bothering to put her perfume on quite yet, and joined Rhona on the couch. Rhona gave a friendly smile and scooted over a bit more so Aislin had plenty of room. They watched the television together as cartoons played on the screen.

“So… what’s it like to mate with him?” Rhona asked curiously.

Aislin scrutinized her. “Why do you want to know?”

“C’mon,” Rhona encouraged. “You know you want to talk about it. Was he sweet? Gentle? Or does he like it rough?”

Aislin blushed as her eyes widened with disbelief. She had never talked about anything relating to mating with anyone else before. “I- I guess… He was very gentle, and he’s the sweetest lover I could ever know.” She smiled, gaining more confidence as she spoke. “But he can get a little out of hand if his instincts kick in.”

“That sounds delightful,” Rhona commented. “How big is he?”

“He’s the biggest I’ve ever seen, but I don’t get around much.”

Rhona grinned deviously. “The bigger the better! Kale has a large cock, that’s why I enjoy mating with him so much.”

“Saber’s is a bit larger than Kale’s,” Aislin admitted. After picturing both Saber’s and Kale’s members, she felt her sex itching again.

“Really? You’re lucky, Aislin.”

Aislin smiled brightly. “I know I am.”

Rhona sighed. “I wish Kale was more like him. He’s really good at mating and all, but he likes it rough. I’d like to take it slow sometime…”

“Did you ever talk to him about it?”

“Well… no, not really. He likes it when I just let him have his way with me.”

Kale had always seemed like a dominant male to Aislin. She came close to mating with him one time, but she decided against it. “I’m sure he’d listen if you talk to him. He’s not that big of a brute.”

Rhona grinned. “Maybe… I’ll try to talk to him at work. He listens better when we’re there.”

Aislin nodded. They laid on the couch for another couple of hours until Rhona had to leave for work. Surprisingly, Aislin didn’t mind Rhona’s company at all, and she felt a bit disappointed to see her go. Aislin had never talked to her for so long before. Normally, she couldn’t ever talk to Rhona without getting annoyed, since all she ever talked about was mating. Aislin didn’t mind it this time, and they opened up a lot of other subjects as well.

It didn’t feel like long before Saber returned with a few grocery bags wrapped around his neck. Aislin smiled happily and jumped off of the couch, helping him in storing the packages of meat. She took the bags from him, and he quickly went into her room and stowed away her coinpurse.

As he rejoined her in the kitchen, he jokingly asked, “You didn’t kill Rhona, did you?”

Aislin chuckled. “No, surprisingly. We actually talked for a while and watched TV.”

Saber looked astounded too. “What did you even talk about? She told me nearly everything about the city, and most of it wasn’t very useful information.”

Aislin blushed. The highlight of their conversations was about mating, and Saber happened to be a part of that. “Well… we talked about a lot of things…”

Saber looked at her fearfully. “You didn’t tell her about my… erhm… malehood, did you?”

She chuckled nervously and looked away from him shamefully. “… Can I lie to you?”

Saber sighed and lay defeated on the ground, covering his head with his paws. “Uuugh,” he complained. “She kept pestering me about it, asking me all sorts of strange questions… I can’t believe you went ahead and told her!”

“It’s not like I showed her pictures of it!”

“Now she’ll never leave me alone!” he griped.

Aislin chuckled. “You didn’t have to put up with her for years. You’ll get used to it.”

Saber sighed again and pushed himself up. “I never knew she could be so talkative.”

Aislin finished storing their future meals, and they returned to the couch and cuddled lovingly. Saber wrapped his arms around her from behind, his warm body pressing comfortably against Aislin’s back. Aislin had forgotten about her heat for a while, but the pestering itch was slowly returning to her. Lying there with Saber made her heart beat slowly and calmly.

It wasn’t long before her scent dominated his, irritating Aislin greatly. Saber could tell that she was frustrated, and he tried to relax her with gentle strokes and caresses while they embraced, but it only made her desire relief more.

It was half-after-three, not long before they had to leave, and Aislin couldn’t help herself anymore. “Saber? Can you… pleasure me really quick?”

He nuzzled her affectionately. “Of course I will. How would you like me to do it?” he asked and seductively traced her body with his paw, rubbing sensitive spots along her light-gray underbelly.

So many lustful thoughts jumped into Aislin’s head, but they could only do a few of them without intercourse. “Have you ever used your tail?”

Saber shook his head.

Aisin lifted her leg and spread herself. Saber curiously craned his neck around to look between her legs. She smiled and nudged him happily. “Guide it into me,” she commanded and watched him move his tail until his blue-scaled tip pressed firmly against her slit.

Aislin felt him forcefully push it against her until it suddenly slipped into her soft, warm depths, penetrating her sex. She moaned and clenched her toes, feeling his tail slither further inside of her until pressure welled deep in her loins.

“Oh, that’s good!” she moaned as the tip brushed against her cervix.

“You’re so warm,” he commented.

To Aislin’s delight, he wiggled his tail inside of her, making her squirm with pleasure. “Nnngh,” she moaned. “Now pull it out and push it back in like you would if you were mating me.”

Her walls clasped around his tail as he slowly dragged it out inch by inch. He thrust it back into her, and it slid easily though her slick folds. He repeated the motion again and again while Aislin moaned with pleasure. Compared to using her own tail, this felt infinitely better. He was much slower than her and had a difficult time keeping a steady pattern. It was difficult to control unless he was practiced, so his tail would often suddenly jerk in and out, making Aislin wince and groan.

Saber happily licked and nuzzled her while watching his tail penetrate and fill her. He was just as enraptured with it as Aislin was. When he was pressed all the way in, she couldn’t see his blue scales anymore—only his violet hide—while her sex expanded for the wide girth. As he pulled out, strings of her secretions would cling to his scales until he pushed back in again.

Saber lovingly caressed Aislin with his forepaws, rubbing and massaging her pleasurably. His sensual touch slowly traced down her belly while he pleasured her with his tail. His paw reached between her legs, and he was soon rubbing her clitoris.

Aislin gasped and felt electrifying pleasure tickling up her spine. She hadn’t been sure the first time, but now she was positive that he knew that was a sweet spot for a female. She briefly wondered how he knew, but she didn’t care, especially not now.

Saber rubbed her harder and thrust in and out faster, making Aislin wriggle with bliss. She could already feel her climax coming, building up in her body. Her sensitive muscles were churning and prematurely undulating around his thick tail as it squirmed inside of her. He licked and nibbled the base of her neck, drawing out lustful instincts from Aislin. She breathed deeply in and out, nearly panting.

She could feel his warm member pressed against her rear as he embraced her closely. Instead of his tail, Aislin imagined that it was his cock burying itself deep within her. She pretended that he was spooning her on the couch, gently dipping in and out of her sex while he cuddled her tenderly.

“I- I’m going to cum!” she warned. Then, he bit down on her neck. Aislin cried out with pleasure, feeling her body instinctively freeze as he drove her over the edge. His teeth didn’t penetrate her hide, but it felt painfully good.

Aislin’s sex clamped down on his writhing tail as her orgasm claimed her senses. Her muscles pulsated around him and oozed her secretions until they overflowed from her entrance. She moaned and winced, feeling his tail squirm inside of her while he continued to rub her sensitive clitoris. He drew out her pleasure more than she ever could have.

“Oh… Oh yes, Saber,” she moaned softly, enjoying every delightful second of her ecstatic orgasm. He withdrew his maw and continued to rub and caress her until she finished.

“Where did you learn to do that?” she asked between breaths.

“What do you mean? You just told me to…”

“No, not the tail,” she replied. “You knew every button to press… how did you know?”

“Well… Rhona told me a few things on how to pleasure a female…” he admitted nervously.

Aislin sighed. “You asked her, didn’t you?”

“… Can I—”

“No, you may not lie to me,” she interrupted teasingly.

He chuckled. “Yes, I did ask her first.”

“And I bet she was more than willing to give you a few examples?”

Saber hugged her tighter. “No. I would never allow her to do that.”

Aislin smiled happily. “Thank you…”

“I won’t ever betray you, Aislin,” he reassured. “There’s nothing more in the world I could want other than you.”

His kind words melted her heart. “Saber…”

“I love you.”

Aislin felt tears welling in the corners of her eyes. Warm emotions filled her with a joy she had never felt before: love. “I… I love you too.” Those words felt odd on her tongue, but so comforting and satisfying to say. It felt like her burdens had been lifted. She closed her eyes and basked in the warm repose of his embrace.

A few moments passed before Aislin glanced at the clock above the TV—it was three-forty-two. “Ready for your turn?” she asked expectantly.

He glanced at the clock too. “We don’t have time.”

“It’ll be a quick one. Promise,” she insisted. She crawled out of his arms and off of the couch, sitting down in front of his hind end. She held his hind legs and wedged her snout between them, catching a strong whiff of his scent as her nose brushed against his soft sheath and balls.

“No, Aislin,” he said and shifted his rear away from her before she could get a taste.

“Saber…” she grumbled disappointingly. “We don’t have to always be on time!”

He shook his head. “We need to bathe before we to go to work. That leaves us with no time already, and I don’t want to be late.”

Aislin sighed and followed his lead disapprovingly.

They quickly showered together and were done in no time, since Saber didn’t want to do anything fun.

After Aislin dried off, she trotted to her room to grab her coinpurse. She was going to take it with her today so that she had something to store her perfume in. The perfume was on her nightstand, so she grabbed it and sprayed it over her body. A pleasant aroma of roses filled her nostrils.

Aislin wore a confused expression and squinted at the bottle. Instead of the label reading bubblegum, it read roses. Saber had switched them.

He stepped in the room and smiled. “I thought you might prefer that one,” he said and gestured for her to catch up.

Aislin playfully bumped against him and thanked him. They departed a bit later than usual, but not by much. They sped up their flying to make up for the lost time, and they arrived exactly on time--not a minute later.

Aislin didn’t notice Rhona this time and wondered what she was up to. Maybe Rhona took Aislin’s advice and talked with Kale. That would be a pleasant surprise, Aislin thought. She didn’t mind Rhona being around as much as she first did, but she wanted more privacy with Saber.

Today, Saber was successful dressing himself with nearly everything but the second fastening again. Once Aislin clipped it together, they were ready to work another day.

William greeted them with a bright smile and turned away from his desk. “Almost a week in, huh?” he said to Saber.

Saber nodded proudly. “It felt like it took no time.”

William chuckled and pushed his glasses up on his nose. “I bet. You two have been workin’ really well together, and I’d hate to have to split ya up tomorrow, but rules are rules, ya know?”

Both Aislin and Saber nodded disappointedly.

“But for right now, I’m going to have Sabe deliver this one himself to see if he’s ready. That alright, Ash?”

She wanted to object and to tell him no, but that would have been the wrong thing to do. She had to let go eventually, so she might as well get used to it. “Yeah, that’s fine.”

William handed the envelope to Saber. Saber looked at it, studying the address, and grinned as he trotted off by himself. Aislin wistfully watched him go.

“He’s a pretty smart dragon, Ash. I don’t think you’ll have to worry about him.”

Aislin blushed, realizing that she had a strange look on her face as she reluctantly watched Saber leave. “I know,” she replied.

“And he’s lucky to have you, too.”

She looked at him curiously. “What do you mean?”

“You’re a sweet gal, Ash. Ya may not show it, but you’ve got a great personality beneath those scales. I’m happy Saber came along to fill in that position, but I’m happier that he came along for you. You deserve him.”

“William… I… Th- Thank you…” Aislin said softly. He had never said anything so… thoughtful or meaningful to her before. It really caught her off-guard, and she nearly began to cry tears of joy. Why have I been so emotional recently? she wondered despite fully understanding the reason why: Saber.

“Sorry. It’s not my place to get into your personal business. Rhona was talkin’ a lot today, and it had me thinkin’.” He turned back to his desk and grabbed a pen.

He smiled at her. “Anytime.” As Aislin turned to the break room, he continued, “Oh, and he should be back any minute after realizing that this is where it’s addressed to.”

Aislin looked at him with disbelief. “Did you really?”

He nodded and chuckled. “Like I said—it’s a test to see if he’s ready!”

“Unbelievable,” she scoffed and shook her head.

As if on cue, Saber walked through the door, looking just as confused as he was when he first started working here. “It’s supposed to be delivered here…” he said helplessly, staring at the address.

Aislin stepped forward and grabbed the letter from him, taking it to the trash bin next to William’s desk. William was snickering into his hands, trying not to laugh.

“Someone thought it would be funny to test you,” she said, pointing at William with a wing.

“I thought it was an actual letter,” he said disappointedly, hanging his head low. That irked Aislin and she glared at William accusingly.

“Oh come on, Sabe! You did well!” William encouraged. “I do that to everyone on their sixth day, and ya almost had a record timing!” Aislin knew that wasn’t true, but she was glad to see him attempt to comfort Saber.

“Really?” Saber perked up and smiled cheerfully.

William nodded and reached into his desk, withdrawing a chocolate bar. “For that ya get a small reward,” he said and tossed it to Saber who clumsily tried to catch it in his paws and failed.

“I’m not a pet, you know,” he commented and picked it up. He carefully unwrapped it and grinned happily. “But I do love chocolate.”

He snapped off half of it and gave it to Aislin. She smiled kindly and thanked him. She loved chocolate too!

The evening was slow business-wise, but Saber and Aislin had a lot of fun talking and chatting with William. They rarely ever had the chance to actually sit down and talk with him, and it was a pleasant change of pace. Aislin had never been comfortable with it before, since he was a human, but she didn’t even notice it this time around. Saber was more than happy to talk with William.

Aislin didn’t really notice her heat either. It nagged at her for a bit, but she did her best to ignore it. It was also helpful to have her perfume with her, so whenever she needed to she could apply it.

Since it was a slow night, William went home early, and Saber and Aislin clocked out early as well. It was a crisp, clear night, a pleasant view for their flight home.

They returned to their apartment almost half-an-hour earlier than normal and stepped inside their warm home. As soon as Aislin walked inside, she could hear lustful moans and grunts with the occasional squeaking of the couch. Oh, no she didn’t! she thought and peeked into the living room.

Aislin blushed. She saw Kale between Rhona’s legs, humping her while they were lying on the couch. The white dragoness held to the golden dragon tightly, taking his thrusts with lewd moans. She could hear their hips slapping together too.

“I can’t believe them,” she whispered to Saber, who was awkwardly hanging back like a scared hatchling.

“Oh! Yes!” Rhona moaned loudly. “That's it, Kale!”

Saber looked at Aislin expectantly.

“What do you want me to do?” she huffed quietly.

“We could just leave,” he offered.

Aislin shook her head. “This is our home. Let’s just walk in.”

“A- Are you sure?” Saber asked, surprised and concerned.

Aislin nodded affirmatively. “They won’t care, anyway.”

She stepped into the living room and greeted them. “I see you’re having fun on our couch,” she commented dryly.

Kale whirled his neck around and immediately stopped rutting Rhona. “Aislin! I- I’m sorry… she said you wouldn’t be home for another while...”

She has absolutely no shame. “We clocked out early… Sorry to interrupt you, but I’d appreciate it if you did that on the floor.”

“So you don’t care if we mate here?” Rhona asked hopefully.

“Just this time…" Aislin replied.

“Are you sure about this, Aislin?” Saber asked worriedly. She ignored him for now.

“Thank you, Ash!” Rhona exclaimed and quickly separated from Kale. She immediately jumped down to the floor and lifted her tail for him.

Kale glanced awkwardly at Aislin before returning his attention to his mate. He climbed off of the couch with his large, erect member swinging between his legs and began mounting Rhona in plain sight.

Aislin and Saber slipped into their bedroom before Kale and Rhona were back at it. She could hear them mating already as the door shut behind them.

“You’re just going to let them continue?” Saber asked with shock.

Aislin nodded. “Hopefully it will get Rhona out of our apartment and back with Kale.” She jumped up onto the bed and lay on her back, beckoning for Saber to join her.

Saber sighed and climbed up after her. "Don't you think it's awkward at least a little bit?" He crawled between her legs as she held him closely.

"It's not like we're watching them... but we'll just have to ignore them if they make a bunch of noise... We could replace it with our own," she said slyly and offered a kiss.

Saber smiled softly and accepted. They kissed passionately and cuddled. Aislin gently stroked his back while her tongue explored his mouth. Saber caressed her flanks with sensual strokes as he rubbed his tongue against hers.

Aislin’s heavy scent wafted into her nostrils combined with Saber’s musk. She cooed happily and grinded her crotch against his. She felt the beginning of his erection as his warmth pressed against her slit. Aislin wanted him to take her, but she wasn’t sure if he would. They hadn’t spoken once about mating while she was in heat. It was just an unspoken rule that they wouldn’t, but she wasn’t sure why. She’d love to bear his egg.

Saber broke the kiss and began licking beneath her chin down to the base of her neck. Aislin moaned and felt arousal beginning to cloud her mind. She lay there submissively, allowing Saber to do what he wanted with her body. He had never been so forward, and it was exciting Aislin to feel him exploring and experimenting with her body.

His tongue traced lower and lower, flicking across sensitive spots along her gray underbelly. Aislin watched him and spread her legs apart as he backed off of her body, lying at her hind end. She cooed happily and curled her toes while he doted the soft scales surrounding her slit. His warm, slick tongue traced up her thighs and back down to her crotch, making Aislin giddy with anticipation. She watched his violet head move between her legs.

Then, Saber’s paw pressed firmly against her slit and massaged her while his tongue flicked across the top of her slit, trying to find her hidden clitoris. Aislin could hardly contain her excitement. She could hear Rhona moaning in the other room, and she wanted to match her cries.

“Taste me,” she said, watching him intently. He looked up at her—his crimson eyes filled with lust—and spread her slit apart with his paws. The flat of his warm tongue pressed firmly at the base of her slit near her entrance and slid up until it brushed against her slightly exposed clit. Aislin moaned her pleasure and squirmed with delight as he did it again and again.

Aislin spread her legs wider, feeling Saber’s tongue lapping at her sensitive sex. She could hear his lewd licks as he worked his tongue up and down faster.

“Oh… keep going, Saber,” she moaned.

Saber listened to her and suddenly delved his tongue into her spread entrance. His warm muscle penetrated her with ease and slithered through her velvety folds. Aislin cried out with bliss, feeling it worm its way inside of her. Her muscles lightly clasped around it, pulling and tugging it deeper.

With glazed eyes, Aislin watched the violet head between her legs. His snout was pressed against her slit as he lapped at her delicate insides. She could already feel her orgasm nearing, but then he began rubbing her erect pearl with his thumb-toe, drawing out more pleasureful moans from her. Aislin panted heavily as her body reacted to his stimulation.

Aislin placed a paw on top of his head between his horns, making her feel like she had a little more control, but she knew she was at his mercy. The tip of his tongue flicked across a sensitive spot in her sex, making Aislin flinch and groan with delight. Saber noticed her sudden change and did it again. Aislin winced and clenched her toes. She swore she saw a devious grin on his muzzle.

Then, Saber focused his tongue on that spot while his paw rubbed and caressed her clitoris. Aislin writhed with pleasure, eliciting loud and lewd moans. Saber managed to hold her down while he pushed his mate over the edge with blissful pleasure.

Aislin gasped as her orgasm suddenly rushed through her body. Her loins burst with warmth as her sex undulated around his penetrating tongue. Saber was relentless, never stopping with his movements. Aislin panted heavily and felt her secretions oozing past his tongue and out her entrance. Her wings flared open and her body squirmed back and forth while her tail thrashed beneath Saber. He held onto her the entire time, giving nothing but his undivided attention.

When Aislin had finally settled down and relaxed, Saber withdrew his tongue and snout and sat on his hind. She grinned, watching a long string of her arousal cling to his dark-blue scaled chin. The tip of his snout from his nostrils to his chin was coated with her liquid. He noticed it, too, and licked most of it up.

Aislin’s lips curled in a lusty smile as she looked between his legs. She saw his large, erect member protruding needily from his sheath. With her hind-paw, Aislin guided it between his forelegs and began caressing him affectionately. She rubbed him between her toes and could feel him twitch as she curled her paw around him. With her tail, she pressed it against his testicles and rubbed them.

She could hear him groan and saw his face scrunch with pleasure, but he stepped away and lay flat on his belly next to her, hiding his cock from her.

Aislin looked at him questioningly. “Don’t you want to be pleasured?”

He grinned kindly and replied, “I don’t need to be.”

Aislin glared at him restlessly. “Why won’t you let me pleasure you? I want you to feel it too.”

Saber smiled sweetly at her. “I appreciate that, Aislin, but I am happy enough satisfying you. I don’t need to be pleasured. You’re the one in heat.”

“Am I not good enough?” she asked worriedly.

That looked like it struck a chord in Saber’s heart. “No… Aislin, that’s not it at all.” He tenderly caressed her cheek and touched his snout to hers. “You’re perfect. Don’t think anything otherwise.”

Saber sighed as she searched for an explanation. “I… I just don’t want things to escalate after that. We haven’t made a decision on whether or not we want a hatchling… I want that decision to be made while we’re in our right minds, not when we’re tangled with lust.”

Aislin nodded, thinking and understanding. A moment of silence passed between them before she finally said, “Then let’s make our decision now. Do you want to make an egg with me?”

Their eyes met, and Saber looked at her thoughtfully. “I… I really don’t know, Aislin. More than anything I want to be your mate, and I want us to be happy together. But are we ready for a hatchling?”

“I… I think so, but I’m not entirely sure. I’m not sure how good of a mother I would be.”

He smiled and nuzzled her. “You will make a great mother. Let’s think it over tonight and tomorrow. Let's take as long as we need.”

She nodded in agreement. “But you’re still not going to let me pleasure you?”

He grinned and squeezed her tightly. “Nope.”

“Okay,” she sighed, defeated. They curled up together with Aislin in Saber’s warm, loving embrace.

Aislin thought about having a hatchling with Saber. She wondered what he or she would look like. And, she also wondered how good of a mother she would really be. She already knew Saber would be a great father. He was kind, gentle, and caring. Would I be able to replicate that? she thought anxiously as she drifted off into slumber.

Next chapter! This is the end of Aislin's perspective, and also the end of the first file. Thanks for reading thus far! Next chapter will begin on Saber's Day Out.

► Show Spoiler

Saber wasn’t anywhere to be found when Aislin woke the next day. When she climbed out of bed, she found Rhona and Kale both lying together on the couch. Thankfully, they weren’t doing anything more than cuddling and watching cartoons.

“Where’s Saber?” Aislin asked, concerned.

Rhona answered, “He said he had to go run some errands.”

“Oh.” Errands? Again? What is he up to? she pondered.

“I hope you don’t mind that Kale stayed with me. We didn’t want to fly across town in the middle of the night.”

“That’s fine,” Aislin said. “You’re both welcome to stay until you have to work. Will you be returning with him tonight, Rhona?”

She nodded cheerfully and nudged Kale affectionately. “I took your advice, and we had our most passionate mating last night. Thank you.”

Kale nodded with her and smiled brightly. “From what Rhona has told me, you and Saber are getting along really well. I’m glad you found someone for you too, Aislin.”

Aislin blushed and smiled happily. “Thanks, Kale.”

She padded into the kitchen, feeling in the mood for some breakfast. She offered Kale and Rhona each a slab of meat, and they accepted graciously. Aislin sat with them, curled up with herself on the other end of the couch. Seeing Rhona and Kale together made her miss Saber's comfort. She sighed quietly and turned her attention to the TV.

Rhona and Kale departed for work, leaving Aislin to herself until Saber returned a few hours later.

"Where did you go?" Aislin asked curiously as he climbed up onto the couch with her. He snuggled her closely as she shifted into his loving embrace. She could faintly smell the scent of humans on him.

He smiled and nuzzled her. "I was curious of what some of the stores sell, so I went exploring," he answered assuringly. "I didn't want to be stuck here with Rhona and Kale.

"You could bring me with you, you know. I don't like being stuck with them either."

"Sorry," he apologized. "I didn't want to wake you."

Aislin grinned and nudged him affectionately with her snout. "I don't mind if it's you."

Aislin and Saber cuddled and watched the TV for another hour before it was time to get ready. Aislin thought about having him satisfying her again, but then she began thinking about having a hatchling instead.

"So, will we be working separately today?" Saber asked worriedly.

Aislin nodded. "But don't worry about it. You'll do fine."

"I'm more concerned with being away from you. You've always been there with me... I'm not sure how I'm going to handle it by myself."

She nuzzled her cheek to his and licked his cheek. "You will be fine," she reassured. "Just keep doing what you've been doing."

He grinned and nuzzled her back. "Thanks, Aislin."

They left for work after Aislin bathed and put on her rose perfume. She reinformed him of everything he needed to know on the way. She knew he was excited to finally be on his own, but she could see that he was also extremely nervous, almost like he was on the first day.

When they dressed in the locker room, he took a lot longer than usual, struggling to do it himself. Aislin wanted so badly to help him, but she decided against it. It was time for her to move on. She waited for him and helped him with the last fastening.

William greeted them both happily and handed the first envelope of the day to Saber. "There ya go, buddy.

Saber took it almost apprehensively. He sighed and shook his body. "Sorry... I shouldn't be so nervous," he admitted.

"Hey, it's a big step,"William comforted. "Take your map with ya, just in case, and keep a level head. You will be fine!"

He nodded and smiled, putting the letter in his right pouch. He trotted away and left on his first real delivery.

"You've been too good to him, Ash," William commented with a chuckle. "He seems to be rather dependant on you."

"I know," she replied, "but he will do fine. I know he will."

"I'm sure he will too."

Aislin had a few letters and even a package to deliver herself. It felt different to not have Saber by her side, and she felt very lonely. She was left to herself and her own thoughts. The longer she was away from Saber, the more her loins itched with her heat. She tried to quell her lustful thoughts, but she couldn't help it. She wanted him.

She thought about mating with Saber again, whether or not she wanted a hatchling. She loved Saber with all of her heart, and he returned that love with the same passion. They were meant to be--she had no doubt about that--but were they ready?

Aislin knew Saber was younger than her, but he wasn't stupid. If he didn't want to have a hatchling, he would have said so. If Saber was ready, then she was ready.

She nodded to herself. Aislin wanted to make an egg with Saber.

Aislin returned to the main office at the end of their shift, hoping to see Saber when she arrived there. He was gone before she had taken the final delivery, which was across the city, so he should have been back by now.

No one else was here. William had gone home, and the rest of the employees were usually gone long before now. She checked the locker room, but he wasn’t there. She checked the closet and saw that his uniform was still missing, so that meant he was still out delivering his last envelopes. She hoped he wasn’t having a tough time and that he would be back soon. She could hardly wait; she had already been waiting all day for this.

It was just a little past ten o’ clock, so unless something happened, he would be back shortly. Aislin shook her head. She was unnecessarily worried. He will be fine. It’s only when he returns here that something will come up…

Aislin grinned deviously. She had thought this through all day, making sure everything would be flawless.

Mr. Donley wouldn’t be closing until eleven o’ clock, so he was at the opposite end of the building in his office until then. That gave her ample time to corner Saber and give him a quick blowjob. Aislin could already feel her nethers moistening.

She cursed and looked down, hoping that her uniform wasn’t soiled because of her heat. For most of the day, she had been itching and feeling warm in her loins. Despite the lovely smell of her new perfume, her scent sliced through it with ease, wafting into her nostrils.

She quickly undressed and checked herself first. Her slit was slightly swollen, revealing a sliver of her pink flesh between her light-gray, nether lips. Her scent was light and delicate for now, not overwhelming like before. The perfume had helped immensely through the day since she could reapply it, but now it was beginning to wear off.

She then inspected the area where the clothing covered her crotch. She silently cursed. There was a damp spot that wasn’t too noticeable, but she knew it was there. Aislin shook her head and neatly folded her uniform up and put it away. It would be dried up by tomorrow.

While she was there, she heard the front doors open. Aislin’s heart thrummed. Saber walked in from the lobby and happily greeted her.

“Hey, Aislin. I didn’t get lost!” he exclaimed proudly.

She smiled at him and retorted, “But you’re late getting back!”

He walked into the locker room with her following closely. Aislin could hardly control herself. She inhaled deeply while her snout was over his rear, catching a light whiff of his masculine scent. It nearly sent her over the edge with desire.

“Sorry,” he said. “But I told you that I’d meet you back at your home if I was late. I know how to get there now.”

“I wanted to surprise you with something,” she said as her flank brushed against his. Aislin couldn’t wait any longer; she wanted him now. She circled him once while her tail traced around his body seductively.

She could hear him gulp, and when she nuzzled his snout affectionately, she could almost see his blush on his violet scales. “I- Uh… errr… And what is this surprise?” he asked, frozen in place while Aislin rubbed her gray body sensually against him.

“Something we’ve both been waiting for,” Aislin replied. Her tail curved beneath his belly, and the tip of it brushed over his crotch. He inhaled deeply and trembled.

Aislin smiled and gently pushed him down. He nearly toppled over, but caught his balance just in time so that he gently landed on his flank. “You’re in heat, Aislin,” he stated worriedly. As the dragoness tried to move over him, he scooted back into the corner.

I didn’t literally mean corner him… but this will do. Aislin continued to approach him with a lusty glint in her dark-green eyes.

“W-Wait, Aislin,” he begged. “Are you sure about this? We’re still at work for heaven’s sake! And I’m still in my uniform, and…”

She ignored his pleading, taking a long gander between his legs that he didn’t bother to close. She was rather pleased to see a larger bulge than before just above his orbs. He was already as hard as a rock, and his cock was throbbing against his tight, white and orange uniform. He must have been waiting for this all day, too.

“That was quick,” she remarked.

“I- I couldn’t control it,” he admitted.

While his wings rested against the lockers, his hind end remained sitting on the ground with his legs splayed apart. His chest was rising and falling quickly as his breathing was already ragged. Aislin lowered her head until her snout pressed against the bulge in his flight suit and inhaled his thick, intoxicating scent. He groaned lustfully and clenched his toes. Now there was a growing wet spot in the fabric just about where the tip of his member was. At least I’m not the only one, she thought amusingly.

“You’re very pent up,” she commented, nuzzling his bulge again.

Saber nodded with wide eyes. “Are you sure you want to do this here?”

Aislin grinned toothily without responding and pawed at his crotch, eliciting a quiet moan from Saber. She could feel his warmth radiating through the fabric, but she wanted to really feel him in her paws, and she wanted it now. Without even thinking, she clawed at his stomach to tear off the suit. She ripped through it easily and tore off the material around his crotch. He didn’t even protest; he only laid back and watched while she exposed his sex.

Aislin immediately began pawing at his warm length, making Saber twitch and groan. Natural lubrication already coated her paw, as did some of his semen. He was leaking a lot more than she had expected. Staring at his crotch while she played with him and knowing what was to come next was making her drool. His scent was powerful in her nostrils, exciting her lust until her crotch tingled with desire.

She noticed that her vent was already swollen, her entrance revealed and waiting. Her loins were filled with a lusty, fiery heat. She needed to take him in her maw now. The sooner she was done with that, the sooner they could mate at home.

Aislin lowered her head again and nudged his flesh with the tip of her snout. His scent was even stronger, spurring her curiosity to taste him. With a long, drawn out lick, she slathered her tongue and saliva from his loose orbs to his leaking tip. Saber’s wings fluttered as his body tensed up. Aislin licked her lips, already enthralled with his flavor. She licked him again around the tapered tip of his cock, making him twitch and his length jump. His semen tasted like his thick scent, sending a pleasureful shiver through her.

With confidence, Aislin took him in her mouth. Saber moaned and instinctively bucked his hips as her warm maw enclosed around his sensitive cock. He pushed deeper into her mouth and nearly jabbed himself against one of her teeth. She grunted and parted her jaw wider so he wouldn’t get hurt. His tapered tip was at the end of her mouth, almost reaching her throat. She looked cross-eyed and could see his knot pushing against her lips. Thankfully, his knot stopped his thrust; any deeper and she would have gagged on him.

Saber breathed raggedly in and out, stifling his moans with each exhale. Aislin was glad to see him enjoying this, but he looked nearly ready to cum! She wanted it to last longer, but she also couldn’t just simply stop.

Slowly, Aislin rubbed him with her tongue while his length was nestled inside her steamy maw. She slathered it over his soft member, drooling over it. Her tongue coursed over his bumpy ridges along the base of his shaft. With her eyes closed, she focused on suckling him. She pretended that his length was like one of those candies she enjoyed so much, carefully licking it up and down while savoring its flavor. She swallowed and tasted his seed.

With a forepaw, she began to knead into his stones, massaging them pleasurably. She played with each orb, gently squeezing and holding them.

“Oh, Aislin… Th- This feels so good,” he moaned encouragingly.

Aislin could only smile in return. She began to slowly and carefully bob her head, but just the slightest motion sent Saber reeling. He moaned and clenched his toes, thrusting against her again. She grunted and repeated the motion. This time he nearly kicked her. She scowled at him, but his eyes were closed. He was too enraptured to even notice.

So, the dragoness decided to take a different approach. She shifted and pressed a paw to each of his thighs, spreading him apart while holding him firmly. Then she bobbed her head up and down. Saber moaned louder this time, and his length began pulsing while it slid in and out of her maw. He tried to move but could only squirm while his tail writhed beneath her.

She curled her tongue around his cock, rubbing it with each up and down motion. She slurped and drooled, unable to keep herself from salivating. Her nostrils flared as she breathed deeply in and out of her nose. His tapered tip rubbed against the back of her tongue. Aislin’s movements went faster and faster until it was all one quick, fluid motion.
“Nnngh… Ash… I’m c-close!” he warned a little too late. Just as he finished talking, his hot, sticky seed began erupting from him tip, spewing into Aislin’s maw one rope after another. His cock throbbed in her mouth. The dragoness choked a little bit and coughed, not expecting a torrent of his thick, intoxicating flavor so sudden. She wanted to and tried to swallow it all, but the excess liquid dribbled out of her mouth onto his crotch.

Saber moaned and fluttered his wings. His body writhed in place as Aislin held him down. She continued to suckle on him as his orgasm coursed through his entire body. Each spurt was weaker than the last until his length only twitched inside her maw.

“Oh, Aislin… that… that was amazing,” he said, coming down from his blissful climax.

Aislin grinned and released his cock, taking a few extra licks over his ridged length. She could feel her sex itching, desiring to be filled. It was almost overwhelming. She didn’t even have to touch herself to know that the tender scales around her vent were hot. She could almost feel herself dripping. There was no way she could wait to be satisfied until they were at her home.

“Take me, Saber,” she said, withdrawing from him.

He quickly snapped back to attention. “What?”

Aislin had been waiting so long to do this, to finally expose herself to him while in heat. Her heart was thrumming, her stomach was fluttering, and her mind was hazy. She took a few steps away from him and dropped her torso, kneeling her front end down. She raised her tail high, presenting her wet and needy sex to him.

"Let's make a hatchling."

When she glanced back, she could see him still sitting there in the corner, silent and gawking. His jaw hung low as his crimson eyes were fixated beneath her tail. It was probably his first time ever seeing a female’s sex like this.

“Take me,” Aislin repeated.

He didn’t even question her. Wordlessly, Saber climbed to his paws and approached Aislin’s rear. Without even a shred of thought, he ripped off the rest of his suit, revealing his bare violet scales that she loved. He stepped over her so that her body was between his forelegs while his rear pressed to hers. He put his forepaws on her shoulder blades, holding her to keep his balance while he prodded for her entrance.

When he found it, Aislin cried out, moaning as Saber suddenly penetrated her and filled her with his cock in one motion. He nearly jammed his length into her vent and instinctively began thrusting immediately, leaving almost no time for her to adjust to his large girth.

But Aislin enjoyed every bit of it.

She moaned loudly as he rocked her body back and forth, taking each thrust with immense pleasure. It was much more satisfying than it was painful. She felt his tapered tip spreading her walls apart, making way for the rest of his length to follow. He didn’t withdraw very far before he thrust back into her. His ridges rubbed against her erect clitoris, sending wave after wave of electrifying pleasure through her. He quickly dipped in and out of her tight sex while his knot pushed firmly against her lips, threatening to slide into her at any moment.

Aislin blushed and grimaced. She tried to suppress her moans, but she couldn’t hide her pleasure. She wanted to scream it to the world. Her claws scraped against the locker room floor, leaving marks in the tiles. Boss was going to be pissed, but she didn’t care one bit. This was the moment she had been waiting for.

Saber growled and grunted, rutting Aislin clumsily. He couldn’t control himself and could barely keep a steady pattern while he humped her. His rear legs rubbed against hers as they pressed together at the hips. Her tail curled around his body, almost helping him stay balanced. If it weren’t for his firm hold on her shoulders, he would have fallen. He nearly slipped already, but he seemed too enthralled to care. Taking his first female in the throes of her cycle must have fogged his mind more than Aislin’s.

Saber jounced Aislin’s gray body roughly, his thrusts gaining more force. He moved his forepaws down to her chest and grasped her there, pulling her into his thrusts. It gave him better balance to drive his rod into her. Their connected sex squelched as their hips slapped wetly together. Aislin felt like she was on the verge of her climax for the longest time, but her body must have been waiting for Saber to finish.

“Oh yes, Saber!” she moaned with encouragement, feeling him entering the final breaking point. He couldn’t control himself anymore and was nearly ready to climax; she could feel it all overwhelming her senses and instincts. “Take me! Fill me, Saber!”

He listened to her and gave his last, forceful push, driving his bulging knot through her entrance. Aislin gasped and cried out as he completely filled her, stretching her walls apart at the thick, bulbous base of his cock. Pressure pushed and tugged inside her as Saber continued to slam his hips into her, sending the female reeling over the edge. His balls slapped against her crotch, smacking wetly against her scales.

Aislin’s orgasm rushed through her body like a bolt of lightning. Her vent tightly clasped down around his cock and undulated, prematurely milking him for his virile seed. Immense pleasure shattered her composure, drawing out a lewd, lusty growl from her.

Saber cried out and tugged against her, but his knot held him firmly inside of the dragoness until his seed suddenly exploded from his tip. He doubled over, nearly collapsing on Aislin as she held him up. She could hardly stay standing either, especially with his weight on top of her. Her limbs trembled as their powerful orgasms rushed through their bodies.

Every throb of Saber’s length ejaculated a thick rope of his seed into her. His warmth coursed through her reproductive organs, filling her sex while his swollen knot trapped the excess from oozing out of her vent. Her pulsating vent massaged his throbbing cock, draining him for every last drop.

Aislin moaned huskily, feeling her strength beginning to falter. His warmth spread throughout her loins, satisfying her heat in a way she never thought possible. There was no doubt that Saber was a dragon good for breeding, and he most likely impregnated her. Aislin smiled happily. He would be the father of her hatchling.

Aislin collapsed onto her belly, bringing Saber down with her. He groaned and lay on top of her, panting. It wasn’t much longer before his powerful orgasm ended. They remained tied at the hips, breathing raggedly without saying a word.

Aislin groaned. She could feel her sex aching sorely, throbbing around Saber’s thick cock as it filled her. His knot felt like a giant ball inside of her, and it was still trying to pull away, putting pressure on her sensitive muscles.

But Aislin felt satisfied. The dull ache in her loins replaced her incessant itching, and she would much rather prefer the former.

“No, you were perfect,” she replied. Aislin was happy to know that Saber’s first concern was her.

"I- I didn't mean to be so... rough. I don't know what came over me."

"Don't worry about it," she comforted. "It felt amazing."

As Aislin began coming to her senses, she looked around and noticed that they had quite the mess to clean up, and it was already half-an-hour until eleven o’ clock.

“S- Saber… we need to fix this.”

He hadn’t budged an inch. “Aislin?” he said.

“Yes?” she asked impatiently. She would have rolled him off by now, but she had hardly any strength left in her limbs.

“I just wanted you to know that no matter what happens it was worth it.” He nuzzled her affectionately.

She smiled softly at him and nodded. “Yes, it sure was.”

Saber gently and carefully dragged his length out of her, his knot popping out with an audible squelch. A slimy slosh of liquid oozed out of her entrance. Aislin groaned and winced, feeling the pressure in her vent suddenly disappear.

“Sorry,” he muttered and stepped off of her while she struggled for a brief moment to stand. Her limbs shook, threatening to collapse before she stood, but Saber helped her up and she was fine once her limbs held. She carefully walked into Williams office, looking for things to help clean up.

Saber picked up his tattered and torn uniform while Aislin returned with paper towels and a trash bin. “Keep your nametag,” she said. “We can stitch that onto another uniform tomorrow.”

Aislin knew they both thought the same thing: If there is a tomorrow.

Saber nodded, throwing away his old flight suit. He helped her wipe up their mess, and they quickly finished everthing they could.

Aislin was left with no choice other than to hope for the best. Her and Saber both left plenty of claw marks gouging the tiles while the entire locker room reeked of their mating. Aislin sprayed her perfume to lighten the smell, but it was impossible to disguise it. Anyone in their right minds would know what happened. Hopefully Mr. Donley won’t even check this area!

Saber and Aislin made their escape with ten minutes to spare. Even though they were both worried about the repercussions, they were joyous. Saber grinned nearly the whole way home and even did some twirls through the air, laughing like a playful hatchling.

Aislin couldn’t help but to laugh with him and join in on his antics. “What’s got you so happy?” she teased.

Saber beamed brightly at her, his crimson eyes lit with happiness. “I’m going to be a father!”

She chuckled. “It’s not one-hundred percent, you know!”

He shook his head. “This time it is.”

Aislin shook her head too, but she couldn’t shake the grin off of her snout. Maybe he is right!

► Show Spoiler

Saber woke the next morning holding Aislin tightly against him. He smiled and gently squeezed her, burying his snout into her neck. He loved the feeling of her warm body against his and the smell of her lovely scent. It wasn't as strong as it was yesterday, suggesting that her heat had been satiated. Maybe that means she carries our egg! he thought hopefully.

He grinned again. Everything he could have ever wanted was sleeping beneath his protective wing. Her gray body was still and peaceful, her chest rising and falling slowly. A small smile curled her lips.

Their mating last night had been spectacular, and Saber couldn’t have slept better. Waiting almost three full days to receive pleasure from her had been torturous, but it was well worth it in the end. Just thinking about it made him excited.

Saber realized that his morning wood was poking into her hind once again. He didn’t worry as much as he did before, but he was still annoyed with how easy it was for him to get an erection around her. It was a good thing she liked his cock!

With reluctance, Saber separated from his mate, carefully and quietly removing himself from the room. He walked to the kitchen with his length swinging back and forth between his legs. He growled at himself with irritation and grabbed some breakfast out of the fridge.

Saber happily ate the meat, enjoying its tender flesh and juicy flavor. Where he used to live, he was only given meat on the rare occasion. Having a treat like this every day was absolute bliss for him. After he finished eating and his erection had gone down, he quietly snuck out of the apartment and flew toward the center of the city.

It was his final day of working at the jewelry shop, and he planned to be there early.

Since the day after he had mated with Aislin, Saber had been secretly working at the store where he bought Aislin’s perfume for about four hours a day.

Saber didn't like lying to Aislin about it, but he wanted to surprise her. His goal was to make enough money there and at the Postal Services to buy her a four-hundred dollar necklace that he had picked out.

When he arrived, he happily greeted the blonde-haired lady behind the counter. Her name was Rebecca. She was slender and shorter than most humans, but she still had a foot on Saber. By human standards, she was very pretty. She had a sweet smile and a soft, kind face.

The shop was small, but it everything inside it was worth a lot of money. Glass display cases held a variety of jewelry, ranging from necklaces, bracelets, rings, and other human apparel that Saber didn’t know about.

Rebecca had given him the bubblegum perfume that he had picked out, and she even gave him the rose perfume for free too. Despite the fact that she was a human and he was a dragon, she thought it was sweet how he was trying to make his mate happy.

Her excuse for giving them away was, “they weren’t going to be sold, anyway.” She may have been right, but Saber knew that she wanted to give them to him.

“Hey, Saber!” she cheerfully greeted. “You’re early today.”

Saber nodded and smiled. “I wouldn’t want to take advantage of you on my last day.”

“Oh, it is your last day, isn’t it?” she noticed disappointingly.

He nodded again with less enthusiasm. “I’ll be paid today at my other job, so I should have enough money for that necklace.”

Rebecca smiled softly at him. “It’s a beautiful necklace. I would have given it to you for free if I could.”

Saber chuckled. “You’ve already done enough for me. I wouldn’t allow you to do that.”

“Oh, I know, but I would have made you take it one way or another,” she teased.

Saber bared a toothy smile and walked around the counter to sit next to her. “Am I still on ‘guard’ duty?” he asked. There wasn’t much point of having a guard here, as nothing really happened. The last robbery that occurred was nearly two years ago while no one was here.

She nodded. “You’re the best guard I have!”

“I’m the only guard you have.”

“But the best! Besides, the ladies that come in think you’re cute. It’s good for business.”

Saber grinned happily and looked up at her. “Do they?”

Rebecca patted him on the head. “Yes, and I think you’re a very handsome, purple dragon,” she complimented. “Aislin is lucky to have you.”

Saber couldn’t help to beam excitedly at the mentioning of his mate, as it brought up a lot of warm, fond memories. “We mated last night, and she will probably have an egg!” he exclaimed, nearly bouncing up and down.

Rebecca blushed and covered her lips with her fingers. “Oh! Did you now?”

Saber nodded with his chin held high. “I'm going to be a father!”

She smiled softly at him. “Congratulations, Saber! I know you're going to be a great father.”

He smiled half-mindedly. He was already having daydreams about him and Aislin with their future hatchling. “Thanks, Rebecca.”

“You’ve never told me why she’s so special to you, and you talk about her all the time.”

He looked up at her with gleeful, crimson eyes. “It’s hard to explain with words… She’s just so… perfect. She’s beautiful, smart, caring, and she has a good sense of humor.”

“Ooh, Saber,” she said, dropping down to his level. “There’s nothing you have to make up for. Love has no limitations… There isn’t “enough” or “too little;” there’s only love.” She gave him a tight hug.

Saber's eyes widened with shock, hesitating before he hugged her back. He wrapped a wing around Rebecca and felt tears welling in the corners of his eyes. He smiled and blinked them away.

After their short embrace ended, he replied, “You’re right, but I just can’t help but to feel that way.”

“The entire reason you’re here is for her, you know,” she commented. “If it wasn’t for your dedication to Aislin, you would never have even come here.”

He nodded in understanding. She was right.

“And I’m glad you came here too, Saber,” she said. “Before you came along, I thought dragons were all senseless and emotionless. You proved that wrong to me.”

She laughed uneasily. “I shouldn’t feel so emotional toward you, since you’ve only been here for four days, but..” She looked at him fondly with that sweet smile of hers. “I really got to know you. You’re the sweetest dragon I’ll ever meet.”

“Rebecca…” He returned her kind smile, looking into her hazel eyes. “I’m not leaving quite yet!”

She shook her head and opened the register, withdrawing several bills. “You are. I’m paying you for twenty hours’ worth, and I want you to come back later when you’re ready to buy the necklace.”

“But Rebecca… I’ve only worked twelve hours so far… today was going to be sixteen. You’re paying me too much,” he stated.

She shook her head again. “It’s not charity. It’s your employee discount on that necklace.”

Rebecca smiled cheerfully at him and handed him one-hundred dollars. “As we agreed, I paid you the minimum wage for dragons.”

He took the money from her and went to put it away in his pouch. Then he realized that he wasn’t wearing his suit and he had nothing to carry his money with. “Thanks, but--err--do you have something I can carry this in?”

Rebecca grabbed a plastic bag and handed it to him. “It’s the best I have.”

He thanked her. “It will do.”

Saber padded away with a big, toothy grin. “I’ll be back!” he said. She waved goodbye as he left.

Now, he made his way to the postal building along the outskirts of town. Aislin said that they could pick up their payment at any time today, so they were going to wait until they worked, but now Saber had a lot of free time.

It was chilly out today. Saber’s body missed his suit. Despite its terrible appearance, it brought warm comfort to him while he flew during his deliveries. Not only did it keep the biting wind from chilling his bones, it also insulated his body heat, keeping him cozy.

Saber flew over the tallest buildings, looking around for familiar markings. He was much better at traveling without a map now, but he didn’t want to accidentally get lost because he wasn’t paying attention.

He also enjoyed the sights of the city. Each block seemed to have its own theme, whether it was food, business, or something along the lines of those. Everything seemed to fit together perfectly and seamlessly.

When Saber touched down outside the post office, he suddenly felt apprehensive, remembering last night with Aislin. Do they know it was us? he wondered fearfully. He stepped inside and made his way to William’s office. There were a lot of people inside, and there were a lot more human workers than he’d seen before. He didn't recognize any of them.

To Saber’s surprise, it wasn’t William sitting in his office. It was some old, bald-headed man, who looked extremely displeased with being there. He turned around and glared at Saber.

“What is it?” he asked impatiently.

Saber glanced around and asked, “I… uhh… where’s William?”

“He doesn’t get here until after lunch. What do you want?”

“I- I was looking for my payment…”

He grumbled and shifted a few papers around. “What’s yer name?”

“Saber!” Rhona answered excitedly behind him. Saber whirled around and saw her dressed in her white and orange striped suit. It fit tightly around her, stretching around her lithe, graceful body. She was beautiful--he couldn’t deny that--but she wasn’t as beautiful as Aislin.

She bumped into him playfully, rubbing her body against him. “What’re you doing here?” she asked.

“I- I’m here for my payment.” Despite knowing Rhona and her antics, it was still easy for her to fluster him.

“And here it is,” the old man grumbled, handing him a stack of bills. “Two-hundred and ten dollars.”

A sharp pain shot through Saber’s chest. “Two-hundred and ten? I thought it would be a little more than that.”

He scoffed and muttered beneath his breath. “You get paid the minimum wage, just like every other dragon. Just be glad you're not taxed like us.”

Saber placed the money in his bag. I only have three-hundred and ten dollars for that necklace… he thought disappointingly. He knew he was paid the bare minimum, but he put in a lot of hours this week, making him think it would be more. His head drooped low.

“Saber? What’s wrong?” Rhona asked.

He glanced at her and answered, “N- Nothing… I… I wanted to buy this necklace for Aislin.” He walked with her into the locker room, his tail dragging behind him.

He remembered what happened last night and was surprised to only smell their scent faintly. It was replaced by a cleanly, lemon smell, but their claw marks still marred the flooring.

“And you don’t have enough money?”

He shook his head somberly.

“How much do you need?”

He looked up at her with an almost hopeful glint, but he didn’t want to take charity from anyone else. This was his task to do. He realized he only needed to wait a week, anyway. “Forget about it. I can wait.”

“How much?” she insisted.

Saber sighed. “Ninety dollars, but I won’t accept it for free.”

Rhona grinned deviously. “Well, I do have an idea for something you can do for me.”

Saber perked up. “What is it?”

She stepped up close to him, her snout inches from his as her eyes peered into his. “I want you to pleasure me.”

Saber growled, “No. I will not.”

“Relax, Saber. It’s nothing big. It’s just a little favor between friends. Aislin doesn’t need to know. You’re not mating with me or anything… I just want you to use your tongue.”

Saber glared at her, but she had him thinking. He had done this before with Aislin, so he knew what he was getting into… but with Rhona?

“You’re getting the necklace for Aislin, right? You won’t take charity, and I’m looking for a little fun. It’s win-win.”

Saber couldn’t believe he was actually considering this. “How long?”

Rhona rubbed her body sensually against his, obviously trying to get him going. Saber could smell her inviting scent already. “Just bring me to an orgasm.”

Saber nodded. “Where and when?”

Rhona grinned widely. “We’ll go into the restroom right now. I’m on break, so we have plenty of time. It’s just around the corner. Follow me!” she cooed.

Thought after thought raced through Saber’s head. Was this wrong? Even if it is just a little favor, would Aislin be angry with him? Was it worth it? He didn’t know the answer to any of his questions. He just hoped for the best and blindly agreed to Rhona’s whims.

Rhona led them into a private, lockable bathroom that was just large enough for the both of them and a toilet and sink.

She immediately began undressing, being sure to show off her beautiful body as Saber assisted her. Her white scales were pristine and glinting, lining her slender body. Her rear end was well-rounded and perfect for mounting.

As she pulled off the rest of her suit, her scent was powerful and alluring, but Saber didn’t like it as much as Aislin’s. It was stronger and tangy, not blunt and earthy.

“Are you ready?” she asked and raised her tail. Saber blushed, seeing her slit between her haunches. It looked a little bit different from Aislin’s, and it was slightly parted. Arousal already glazed her white nether-lips. She wanted this badly, and Saber knew it ever since he met her.

She spread her legs apart and raised her rear, waiting for him to begin. Seeing Rhona presenting to him like that spurred his lust.

But Saber hesitated. He slowly inched his snout closer until he could almost feel her body heat against him. Her slit was just inches from his snout. Saber froze.

Rhona noticed him gawking and tried to push her crotch into his face, but Saber quickly withdrew.

She frowned. “Would you rather me on my back? I didn’t want to lie on these floors, but whatever suits you.”

She laid herself down, angling her body so she avoided the toilet. She spread her legs apart, exposing herself to Saber again.

“C’mon, Saber,” she beckoned and pressed her hind paw to his genitals. She rubbed and tried to arouse him, her paw softly nudging his testicles while her toes danced along his sheath. Saber grunted and looked between her legs. He lowered his head, inhaling her intoxicating scent.

“That’s it,” she encouraged. “I want to see that big cock of yours.”

Arousal started to weave its way into his mind as her toes caressed his exposed and hardening flesh. She used her dexterous toes to rub him up and down while a devious grin spread her lips as she watched him go down on her.

Then Saber shook his head violently back and forth, backing up to the door. He hit the door hard with his rear, making a loud bang. “No! I can’t do it. Sorry,” he abruptly said and quickly left.

Rhona called after him before the door shut behind him, but he ignored her and padded back to the locker room and grabbed his money bag. He hoped no one saw his flaccid member before it sheathed itself.

He rushed out of there and almost collided with William who was just walking in.

“Woah there, Saber! What’s got ya in such a rush?” William knelt down and smiled kindly at the flustered Saber.

“W- William,” Saber stuttered. “I thought you wouldn’t be here until after lunch.” Saber continually checked behind him, making sure Rhona wouldn’t sneak up on him. He hoped that she wouldn’t see him for another while.

“Boss called me in for somethin’. What are ya doing here?”

“I came for my payment,” he answered, holding up his bag.

He pushed his glasses up to his nose. “Ah, I see. I didn’t expect ya here so early without Ash beside ya. What are ya gonna spend your first check on?”

“I… uhm…”

William shook his head. “Sorry, that’s none of my business. I was just curious!”

“I was going to buy Aislin a necklace,” Saber answered.

“Oh, that sounds like a great idea, Saber! She will love it.”

Saber nodded with a small smile. “But I will have to wait until next week.”

“Why’s that?” William asked with genuine concern.

“I don’t have enough money yet. I need to save ninety more dollars.”

William immediately reached into the back pocket of his jeans, withdrawing his wallet.

“No,” Saber said, shaking his head. “I don’t want your money.”

WIlliam shook his head. “You’re going to take this whether ya like it or not.” He smirked slyly and put ninety dollars in Saber’s bag. “I enjoy seein’ Aislin happy, the sooner the better.”

Saber stared at him, unsure of what to do. He hated accepting anything for free, but this was exactly what he needed to make Aislin happy. He was forced into a choice he didn’t want to make.

“Tell ya what: you can pay me back whenever you can,” he said and winked.

William stood up and began walking away. Saber turned and politely said, “T-Thank you, William.”

He raised his hand in acknowledgement and replied, “No problem.”

Saber grinned happily. With four-hundred dollars in his bag, he traveled back to Rebecca’s shop, escaping Rhona as well. Excitement welled inside him as butterflies filled his stomach. He hoped Aislin would like his gift.

“Saber!” Rebecca called happily as he stepped inside. She was busy with a customer, but she still greeted him the same.

Saber grinned and waved at her with a wing. He walked inside, immediately stepping up to the display case with Aislin’s future necklace inside. It was a beautiful, emerald necklace, holding three separate gems in its silver chain. The largest gem was in the center, enclosed by a swirling design that wrapped the emerald to the chain. The other two were simply placed on either side.

Saber waited patiently until Rebecca came to help him. “So, you’re sure you want this one?”

Saber nodded with a big, toothy smile. “It matches her perfectly.”

Rebecca grinned and unlocked the case, withdrawing the necklace carefully. She grabbed a box and put the necklace inside, bringing it to the counter.

“Your total will be four-hundred dollars,” she said. Saber handed her the money from his bag and gently put the box inside the bag with a receipt. “Now, if you ever want to visit again, feel free to stop by. And bring Aislin with you! I’d love to see what that necklace looks like on her.”

“Thank you, Rebecca,” Saber replied kindly. He could tell that she was sad to see him go. “I will definitely see you again sometime.”

She nodded and smiled at him. “Take care!” she said as he walked through the door.

Saber left and hurried home. He could hardly wait to give it to her!

He touched down on the fifth floor of the complex, punched in the code, and padded inside. Greeted by Aislin’s warm apartment, he sighed happily and stepped into the living room. And there she was, already waiting for him.

Saber smiled happily. Her beauty was incomparable even when she wasn’t trying. Her gray scales were clean and glistening, suggesting that she had just taken a shower. The darker, black scales along her back were even glossier, running down to her tail. She lay on the couch with her hind legs kicked out comfortably and respectfully while her black-scaled hind paws dangled off of the couch.

“Where were you this time?” she asked inquiringly, noticing the bag in his paw. “And what’s that?”

Saber nuzzled her happily. He had been waiting long enough for this moment, and the anticipation was killing him. “I got you something,” he said and withdrew the box.

Aislin eyed it curiously as he handed it to her. When she opened it, her eyes widened and her expression softened. “Oh… Saber… This is beautiful.”

Saber beamed toothily. She loved it! “Try it on.”

Aislin climbed off the couch and struggled to clip it behind her neck. Saber gladly helped her, hooking the tiny pieces together. When he stepped back, his heart fluttered with joy. She looked absolutely stunning.

“You’re beautiful, Aislin.” The emerald gems matched her eyes perfectly while the silver complimented her gray scales. It hung loosely around her check, the center gem falling to her chest.

Aislin looked at it admiringly with a soft smile. “Thank you, Saber… This is the greatest gift I’ve ever received.” Her eyes met his, expressing her sincerity. “I love you.”

Saber touched the tip of his snout to hers. “And I love you.” They kissed tenderly, expressing their passionate love physically. Saber’s heart soared. Kissing Aislin was almost as good as mating with her. It made him feel ecstatic and on top of the world.

Arousal set in his loins as he felt his tip slipping from his sheath. He didn’t try to hold it back this time. When they finally broke apart, he had a full-fledged erection protruding beneath his belly.

Saber shuddered as the tip of her tail caressed his exposed flesh. His nostrils flared as he inhaled her delightful scent. She grinned slyly at him, nuzzling her cheek to his. He licked her neck sensually as she cooled her tail around his cock.

“Shall we take this to the bedroom?” she asked hopefully. “I think someone deserves a little pleasuring.”

Saber didn’t even have to think about it. “Yes, please.”

Saber climbed up onto the bed first while Aislin put the necklace on the nightstand. He wished she had kept it on, but it was probably safer for her not to wear it while they had their fun. He lay on his back with his erect length twitching between his parted legs.

Before he had met Aislin, Saber would have never dared to expose himself to anyone. He didn't like it when anyone looked at his testicles either, but he couldn't do anything about that.

Now that he was mated to Aislin, he felt much more comfortable with his own body even around others. But he especially enjoyed it when she looked at him with wandering eyes.

Aislin grinned as she joined him at the foot of the bed, taking a gander at his cock. She lay down and immediately pushed his hind legs apart. Saber watched her intently as her paw caressed his sensitive flesh. He groaned happily and clenched his toes. She kneaded and massaged him with her soft paw pads while her other paw fondled his balls. He enjoyed having his orbs caressed, and she seemed to like it as well!

Aislin stroked him quickly up and down, making Saber groan with pleasure as her paws rubbed his flesh. She was really good at it too, knowing how and when to caress his sensitive tip. She held balls in her forepaw, bouncing and squeezing them with a gentle grasp.

Then Aislin’s head lowered between his legs. Her nostrils flared just before her tongue tasted his flesh. Saber moaned and slightly bucked his hips. Her warm tongue slowly traced down his shaft and to his balls as she slathered her saliva over his soft testicles.

“Don’t think I’d do this for anyone,” she said and brushed her tongue over his anal opening.

“Ooh…” he moaned, feeling her lapping at his tailhole. “Aislin… that feels amazing.” Saber could feel her warmth pressing against his sensitive tail base, Then, to Saber’s sheer delight, she penetrated him with her tongue, delving into his anal passage. His cock jumped and throbbed as his muscles clenched her invading tongue. He moaned as she massaged his stones while she explored his rear.

To Saber’s disappointment, Aislin withdrew from him soon after, grinning at him slyly while she licked the tip of her tail.

Saber felt apprehensive. “You’re going to use your tail? There?” he asked worriedly. Not once had he ever had anything inside of his tailhole. He didn’t know what to expect.

Aislin nodded. “Trust me. It will feel good!”

Saber nodded and watched her guide the tip of her tail to his anal opening. He groaned as she pushed and forced it into his tight hole. Pain shot through him for a brief moment as it suddenly slipped inside of him, but it was replaced by an uncomfortable pleasure. The more of it she pushed inside, the more he could feel his muscles stretching to fit its girth. The sensation was almost indescribable.

Aislin then took him in her warm, steamy maw, making Saber moan with lust. Her tongue coiled around his flesh while he controlled himself as best he could. The last time she orally pleased him, he nearly hit her. He didn’t want that to happen again.

Aislin slurped on his cock as she wriggled her tail inside of him. Saber wasn’t sure what to think about being penetrated, but it did feel good. The pressure welling inside his loins coursed through him quickly as the tip of her tail rubbed against a sensitive spot inside him. He groaned and fluttered his wings.

As Aislin began bobbing her head, she began thrusting her tail in and out of him, using a paw to push and shove it. Saber could hardly keep track of all the pleasant feelings coursing through him.

Her tail slid in and out of him, rubbing against sensitive spots he never knew existed. As it wriggled inside of him, his member pulsed and jumped in sync with his muscles. His muscles would tighten around her tail as she dragged it out of him.

Saber felt the blissful ministrations of her maw as she slathered her saliva over his member. He prematurely twitched and throbbed inside her mouth as pre escaped his tip. She happily swallowed his seed.

Saber closed his eyes and moaned loudly. He couldn’t hold out for much longer. “A- Aislin…. I’m close!” he warned.

She responded with bobbing her head and thrusting faster, bringing Saber over the edge. As his cock began to throb, so did the muscles in his tailhole. Aislin released him just in time as his seed erupted from his tapered tip, spewing onto his violet belly. Saber writhed as Aislin pleasured his balls with her tongue, lapping at his sensitive orbs. Her tail forcefully pushed deeper into him as his anal muscles squeezed it tightly, pulsating around it.

Rope after rope ejaculated from his throbbing length. Saber lay back, relishing in his blissful orgasm. Warm strings of his semen oozed down his scales as his climax lasted much longer than the last blowjob she gave him.

“Oh, Aislin,” he moaned as the last spurts trickled down his tip. “That was amazing…”

She pulled her tail from him, making Saber groan and clench his toes. “Don't think I would do that for anyone,” she repeated. Saber could tell that she didn't enjoy it quite as much as he had, but he was glad that she still did it.

“Have you used your tail on yourself like that before?” Saber asked curiously. “I didn't know that it felt so good.”

Aislin grinned and nodded. “Maybe once or twice.”

Aislin crawled between his legs and began licking his chest clean, lapping up his spilled seed. Saber relaxed happily with his head back. Once she was done she gave him a quick kiss as her warm crotch pressed lustfully against his exposed flesh. She was already wet; her slick secretions rubbed onto him as his shaft parted her lips. He could taste his own flavor on her tongue.

When they broke apart, he asked, “So what would you like me to do to you?”

She grinned and replied, “I want to mate like our first time.”

Aislin rolled onto her back next to him as he switched positions with her. She spread her legs apart as Saber stepped between them. He looked down at her and grinned.

“What are you smiling at?” she asked and playfully licked and nibbled his neck.

“Just a beautiful dragoness who makes my heart soar,” he replied and returned with more foreplay.

His tongue traced down her smooth underbelly until she was spreading her legs for him. Aislin cooed happily as Saber’s snout brushed against her glistening slit. Her lips were parted, revealing her sensitive flesh. He could feel her warmth radiating against his nose. Her scent filled his nostrils with her delightful aroma.

As Saber went to lick her, he was suddenly reminded of Rhona. He stopped and hesitated. Do I tell her? he wondered.

“Saber?” Aislin asked.

“Aislin… I need to tell you something,” he stated, withdrawing his head from between her legs.

“What is it?” she asked with concern etched across her face.

Saber looked down, refusing to meet her eyes. “Earlier today… I… I about pleasured Rhona. I was this close with her,” he said, using their mating as an example.

She glared at him. “What do you mean?”

“I needed ninety more dollars for that necklace, and she offered to pay me that if I pleased her with my tongue.”

“But you didn't?”

He shook his head and looked sincerely into her dark-green eyes. “I’m so sorry, Aislin.” He awaited her wrath, but it never came.

Aislin sighed and rolled her eyes. “Saber, that's not something you should bring up while we're in the middle of mating,” she said with displeasure. “Especially when you didn't even do anything! You make me so happy and frustrated at the same time!” she huffed.

"We'll talk about this later..." After she cooled down for a second, she continued, “You're the best mate I could ask for. Thank you, Saber.”

“But Aislin…”

She shook her head. “Mate with me.”

Saber sighed, but a smile curled at his lips. “Yes, my queen,” he said playfully as he stepped over her.

Aislin spread her legs apart as Saber guided his tapered tip into her entrance. He gently pushed into her, feeling his length succumb to his mate’s warmth. She moaned and clutched his body as he parted her tight folds. Her muscles squeezed him as inch by inch slipped into her. He watched his light-red length disappearing into her, seeing her slit bulging as he filled her.

Once Saber’s knot pushed firmly against her entrance, he began to withdraw. Saber groaned with pleasure as he felt her soft muscles rubbing against his sensitive flesh. They clasped around his cock while he dragged it out of her.

“Oh, Saber…” she moaned. “You feel amazing.”

Aislin wasn't as tight as she was the first time they mated. Saber didn't even know that he had a large cock until she praised him for it. Having her compliment him like that made Saber happy.

“You feel amazing too,” he said, looking lustfully into her eyes.

Saber thrust back in and felt his tapered tip sink into her velvety depths. Aislin moaned her pleasure and held him closely as he began humping her gently. He mated her with his belly pressed against hers as they entwined their tails.

Out of all the acts of mating they had done so far, this position was his favorite. It promoted intimacy between them, and Saber enjoyed being close with Aislin, face to face. She embraced him tightly while he rocked her body back and forth. He could hear her cooes and moans right next his ear, encouraging him to continue.

The bed creaked with his thrusts, adding to the music of their mating. His quiet grunts were drowned by Aislin’s lewd moans. She enjoyed expressing her pleasure, but she was never too loud or obnoxious to him.

As Saber’s humping sped up, their hips slapped together with wet schlicking sounds. Aislin’s arousal coated his cock in her slick secretions, making it easier for him to mate her.

Saber moaned, feeling pressure welling within his loins. His length constantly rubbed against her soft walls, drawing out his pleasure.

He could tell that Aislin was close too. Her eyes were closed while her face was scrunched with pleasure. She held onto him tightly, her thighs gripping his flanks. With moans and cooes of encouragement, she massaged his back with her forepaws, kneading into his tight muscles.

“Nngh… knot me, S- Saber,” she said.

Saber hesitated. He didn't want to hurt her, but it was what she asked. He nuzzled her neck, licking the base of it as his thrusts became harder, jouncing her body against the creaking bed.

With a forceful push, Saber thrust his bulging knot into Aislin’s vent, making her groan loudly as it suddenly slipped inside her. His cheeks warmed as pleasure burst through his shuddering body. His instincts kicked in, and he pounded his hips against hers, pulling and tugging with his knot buried inside her. His balls slapped against her wet crotch.

Aislin cried out as her claws dug into his purple hide. She winced and took his forceful thrusts while grunting and moaning loudly.

Saber growled in a fit of lustful pleasure. He felt his orgasm rush through his loins until his seed spewed forcefully into her sex. Thick ropes of his hot semen ejaculated from his spouting tip, filling Aislin with his virile liquid. His knot stopped his seed from oozing out, trapping his warmth inside of her.

Aislin winced and clenched her teeth, groaning and grunting as Saber filled her. Her muscles suddenly clenched his cock tightly and undulated around it, milking him for his seed. As her orgasm flowed through her sex, she moaned and dug her claws into Saber’s hide.

Saber licked and nibbled her neck while his climax continued. It was almost as powerful as last night's when Aislin was in heat. His throbbing member soon settled down, but Aislin’s orgasm continued for some time after his ended.

They were both breathing raggedly, exhausted from their excursion. Aislin slowly calmed down while she massaged and caressed Saber.

Saber grinned back and nuzzled her. “I should be saying the same about you.”

Another thing Saber always enjoyed about their mating was that it led to cuddling. He loved being intimate with Aislin. Basking in the warm, satisfying afterglow of their mating made it all the better.

With slow, languid movements, Saber rolled his hips into hers, enjoying the feeling of his entirety being tightly squeezed by her sex. Aislin cooed happily and kissed him. If it wasn’t for the fact that his cock was softening, Saber would have thought about going for another round.

Aislin separated from their kiss and smiled brightly. “I really love that necklace. You were really working during those ‘errands,’ weren’t you?”

Saber nodded. “I’m sorry for lying to you,” he apologized, “I just wanted it to be a surprise.”

Aislin understood. “But how did you afford it if you still needed ninety dollars?”

Saber grinned softly. “After I ran away from Rhona, I found William just coming in. I told him about it and he offered to loan the rest of it without hesitation. He likes seeing you happy.”

“I’ve never had a human friend…” Aislin thought out loud. “I never even considered William my friend.”

“Humans aren’t all bad, Aislin,” Saber said. “You should get to know them more. I’ll even introduce you to Rebecca, the lady that I worked for. She’d like to see you.”

“She would like to see me?”

“I talked with her a lot, mostly about you. She’s really nice and her personality reminds me a lot of yours: kind, sweet, and caring.”

Aislin scoffed. “You must not know me very well!” she teased.

Saber nuzzled her affectionately. “Of course I do.”

Saber offered a kiss, but they were interrupted by a terse, obnoxious buzzing sound. He looked at Aislin for an explanation as she separated from him. Saber’s knot contracted and came out with a small pop. Some of his seed spilled out of her vent as she tried to wipe it off.

“That’s the doorbell,” she explained. “Of all the times…”

Saber climbed off the bed after Aislin, and they both hurried to the door, trying their best to look presentable. Fresh air welcomely greeted Saber’s nostrils. Their scents had been intoxicating in the bedroom, stuffing his nose with the smell of hormones.

Saber hid behind Aislin, hoping that his flaccid length would retreat back to its sheath as soon as possible.

When Aislin opened the door, a black-scaled dragon stood behind it. Saber immediately recognized him: he was one of the dragons that had helped Aislin at that restaurant, the one who approached them afterward.

“Oh! It’s you two!” he said, his blue eyes darting between the both of them. “Hello! I… uhm… I don’t mean to be rude, and I hope you don’t mind my asking, but I was going to request for you to keep it down when you’re… well, mating. It’s… distracting when I am trying to work on the other side of that wall.”

Aislin and Saber both blushed. Saber scratched his forearm awkwardly. He never thought of the others living in the complex. He almost forgot that he and Aislin weren't alone. Who knew who else had heard them!

“S- Sorry!” Aislin spouted. “We didn’t mean to be so loud.”

“It’s perfectly fine, my dear! Any other time I would have no qualms with it, since I’m either out or in my bedroom. Now that I know who’s behind that wall, I feel a little better. I’m glad you’re both doing well,” he said politely. “I never realized you were my neighbors!”

Aislin smiled. “I’ve only been here for a few months, and he just moved in last week,” she explained, gesturing to Saber.

“Ah, I see. My apologies for not welcoming you when you had arrived. I must have been busy around that time. It’s a shame our first meeting had to be during that incident... I never got your names, either.”

“My name is Aislin, and his is Saber,” she answered. Saber bowed his head in a respectful greeting.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you both. My name is Ruari.”

“It’s nice to meet you too.”

He nodded and bared a polite grin. “Well, I have to get back at it. Thank you for understanding.”

They both said their farewells as Ruari padded away to his apartment next to them.

Saber nudged her lovingly. “It’s not just your fault. I am partly to blame too.” He smiled and continued, “Besides, I love hearing your moans.”

Aislin grinned. “I can't help it, I suppose. You know what I like.”

Aislin quickly padded to the bedroom and put on her necklace. Saber smiled, meeting her joyful expression. They climbed up onto the couch and snuggled together as the TV played their favorite channel. Aislin’s warm body pressed against his belly as he embraced her. Everything was well with the world.

“Now,” Aislin began, “about that incident with Rhona…”

Saber gulped. His perfect world just began to crumble. “What about it?”

“She offered to pay you for oral sex, correct?”

Saber nodded.

“And you initially agreed to that offer?” she inquired.

Saber turned his head away, feeling ashamed. He never wanted to disappoint Aislin, and here he was already: the defendant beneath the judge’s bench. “Yes.” He didn't want to make any excuses either. A lot of thoughts raced through his mind as an explanation as to why he did it, but he held his tongue. I don't deserve a trial.

Aislin’s expression saddened, nearly shattering Saber’s heart. “Saber… I know you only agreed to it because you wanted to get that necklace for me… but… that's the wrong way to do it.”

Saber nodded and buried his snout into her neck, feeling tears beginning to well in his eyes. He tried to blink them away, but they were insistent on waiting for him to break.

“I knew it was wrong. When she said that you didn't have to know, I fully believed her." He gulped and admitted, "I even lusted for her. I nearly went through with it… but if you didn't know, then I would always know. The thought would haunt me every time I saw you wearing that beautiful necklace."

Saber couldn't hold it back anymore. The first stream of his warm tears fell from his cheek, soiling Aislin’s gray scales along her neck. “I- I’m so sorry, Aislin.” He tightened his embrace, praying that she wouldn't ever leave him.

She rubbed her head against his, expressing her affection. “You may have agreed to it at first, but you didn't go through with it, right?”

“I never touched her.”

A soft grin curled Aislin’s lips as she looked into his eyes. Her emerald gems were glinting joyfully, bringing warmth back to Saber. “I didn't mean to make you so sad, Saber… I just wanted to clarify what happened and give you a little scolding. I didn't mean for you to confess your sins to me.”

Saber blinked away the last of his tears and sniffled. Seeing his mate's smiling face was more than enough to bring him out of the gloom. “You're not angry with me?”

Aislin shook her head and gave him a quick kiss. “I am pissed at Rhona for attempting such a sly trick, but I am proud of you for being loyal to me.”

Saber beamed, feeling his burdens slip away. “I will never betray you, Aislin.” He hugged her tightly, nuzzling and licking her neck.

“I know you won't.” She smiled toothily in his embrace, giggling as he nibbled on the base of her neck.

“However,” she began, “don't think this will go unpunished.” A playful grin curled her lips.

Saber stopped and looked at her curiously, deciding to play along with her. “And what punishment will the queen give out today?”

She smirked, pleased with his response. “Don't test me, slave. My nethers are in need of cleaning.”

“Shall I bathe you?” Saber asked, not quite catching on.

She shook her head. “Off the couch,” she commanded.

As Saber removed himself from the couch, Aislin shifted and sat up on her hind with her tail drooping off the front of the couch. She presented herself to him.

Saber grinned and looked over Aislin’s body while she sat up with her legs spread apart, eyeing her from head to tail. Knowing that she was presenting herself to him was thrilling. His length began to spill from his sheath as his eyes wandered over her beautiful body as if she were on display.

Her feminine form curved gracefully, and her light-gray scales covered her body smoothly and seamlessly. The emerald necklace Saber bought for her dangled against her chest. Between her legs was her exposed slit waiting for Saber to begin. Her revealed, pink flesh glistened from their earlier mating, surrounded by light-gray scales.

Aislin looked down at him, eagerly watching his snout move between her thighs. “Yes, tend to me!” she teased.

Saber inhaled her scent as the tip of his nose brushed over her sensitive and soft scales. He could smell his own scent on her sex, but it wasn't very noticeable. She cooed encouragingly, and he began to gently lick her slit up and down, tasting her delicious, blunt flavor.

Saber’s tongue licked from the base of her slit to the top, rubbing against her exposed, pink flesh. Her secretions were already coating his tongue while he slathered his saliva over her vent. He could faintly taste his own seed mixed into her folds.

Saber took it slow, enjoying every second of servicing his mate. Aislin happily sat back, taking the strokes of his tongue with pleasure. She clenched her toes and moaned encouragingly while Saber ate her out.

He could feel arousal fogging his mind pleasantly as he blushed warmly. Pleasuring Aislin like this made him feel ecstatic, and hearing her elicit her bliss in soft moans only made him happier.

Saber pushed the flat of his tongue between her nether lips, lapping at her sensitive flesh. His nose brushed against her erect clitoris as he tongued the base of her slit near her expanded entrance.

“Ooh,” she moaned. “That feels good…”

Saber smiled and began massaging her crotch and thighs, feeling and kneading into her sensitive areas while he continued to lap at her sex. Aislin slightly squirmed, lifting and moving her hind legs while her tail swished from side to side.

When Saber looked up at her, she was relaxing with her eyes closed while his head was between her legs. Her expression was scrunched with pleasure as she lay back against the couch. With her luxurious necklace dangling from her neck, Aislin really did look like a queen being serviced!

He grinned and decided to increase her pleasure. He flicked his tongue across her clitoris just before he penetrated her with his tongue. Aislin groaned, arching her back, and her muscles tightened around his invading muscle. Saber delved deep into her soft folds, forcing his tongue through her tight walls.

Aislin tasted like her scent: blunt and earthy with a slight acidic tang. The further he delved, the more he could taste his own flavor mixed in with hers.

“Oh, yes, Saber!” she cooed as he nuzzled her clitoris with his nose. He lapped at her velvety folds, thrusting and pulling his tongue as if he were mating her. Aislin rested a paw on his head between his horns as her squirming was becoming more consistent.

Saber grinned again. Aislin was really enjoying this, having his head buried in her crotch. And he enjoyed it as well, though his hard member was throbbing needily. It was tempting to just mount her, but he wanted to at least have her orgasm first. It was his duty as her "slave."

At the rate he was going, it didn't seem like long before Aislin would climax! Her lewd moans were numerous, covering up the slurping sounds Saber was making. Her forepaw was firmly pushing down on his head. She could hardly contain her pleasure anymore.

Saber decided to bring her to an orgasm and rubbed her clitoris with his toes, feeling the erect nub at the top of her slit. He wished he could feel the pleasureful sensations that tingled down her spine. From what Rhona had said to him, rubbing that spot felt "amazingly good."

“Nnngh… S- Saber! Oh, yes!” she moaned and began writhing, her hips gyrating uncontrollably. Saber could feel her muscles beginning to undulate as her orgasm drew close. He closed his eyes, focusing on pleasuring his mate.

Another thing Rhona has described to him was a female's "g-spot," a sensitive area buried in the folds of a vagina. Saber searched for it with his tongue, probing for it deep inside Aislin’s sex. He curled his tongue, rubbing it against the top of her vent.

Aislin’s muscles suddenly clasped around his tongue as she moaned loudly. "That’s it, Saber,” she groaned and clenched her toes. Her body tightened as her orgasm rushed through it. She elicited a loud moan and held Saber’s head against her crotch, forcing him to taste her flowing secretions while she squirmed uncontrollably.

Saber enjoyed every second of it. He continued to lap at her pulsating sex as he swallowed her slick arousal. Feeling the strength of her muscles clenching around his tongue surprised him. Her sex pulled his tongue deeper, trying to massage and milk it instinctively.

As Aislin began to calm down and her orgasm ended, Saber pulled his tongue out of her and began lapping eagerly around her slit, cleaning her soft scales like a good slave. A wet combination of her secretions and his saliva coated her crotch.

Aislin squirmed and pulled away from Saber. “Okay, Saber. That's good,” she stated, but he didn't want to listen. He thrust the tip of his snout against her slit again, tonguing at her sensitive flesh. That made her twitch and groan before she closed her legs on him and hit him with her tail.

“That tickles atrociously, you big brute,” she hissed.

Saber reluctantly backed off. "Sorry..."

She smiled and stared at his twitching, erect length between his legs. "You are forgiven... this time."

Saber noticed that her eyes were glued to his crotch, and he was surprised that she hadn't moved to pleasure him. He had been hoping that she would returned the favor, but he realized that there wasn't a favor to be returned, since pleasuring her was his "punishment."

"You're not going to pleasure me, are you?" he asked.

Aislin shook her head. "Nope. This is also a part of your punishment."

Saber sighed and looked down. His erection was begging for physical attention, so he began to caress himself in front of Aislin. Her eyes widened as she watched him intently. Saber gripped his length and began to stroke himself off, feeling it twitching in his paw.

She chuckled and relaxed, watching Saber continue to masturbate in front of her. "You would be right."

Saber grunted and rubbed his cock from the base to his tapered tip. Natural lubcrications coated his paw pads, easing his strokes until he was gliding over his sensitive flesh. His movements were fast and fluid and his balls bounced and jiggled beneath his cock.

Saber wasn't a stranger to his own paw. For years before he met Aislin, masturbating was the only thing he could do to relieve himself of an erection. He always did it in privacy, usually finding a spot out in the woods where he used to live. Even when he had first moved in with Aislin he stroked himself off for relief. She nearly caught him one time!

Saber groaned and began to massage and grope his testicles in his other paw as he sat up on his hind legs. He wasn't too sure about putting on a show like this for Aislin. It felt a little strange to him, having someone else watching, but as long as she was enjoying it he didn't care.

She was still watching him, her eyes unwavering. Her head was slightly tilted and cocked to the side while her focus remained on Saber's crotch.

Saber winced and grunted, feeling a sudden spike in his pleasure. He stroked his length with a tighter grip. He felt his ridges along the base of his shaft rubbing against his paw. His paw slapped against his knot as Saber thrust into it with his down strokes. Pressure welled inside his loins; his orgasm was close.

"Here, Saber," Aislin cooed. "This may help." She lifted her leg, exposing her sex to him. Saber grinned and stared between her legs, admiring her female parts. She even pressed a paw to her slit and spread herself wide, revealing more of her glistening pink flesh. She clenched her toes and cooed to him, driving Saber mad with lust.

Saber wanted so badly to drive his cock into her warmth, but he had to resist his natural urges. Instead, he imagined himself mounting her and what it would feel like, that glorious feeling of penetrating her vent...

Saber gasped and felt ready to burst. He moaned and winced as his cock throbbed in his paw, beginning to breathe raggedly as pleasure coursed through his loins. His creamy seed spewed out of his pulsing tip and spilled onto the carpet floor. He continued to rub himself, feeling his powerful ejaculations course through his throbbing member. Most of his semen oozed onto his paw until his orgasm ended. It didn't last nearly as long as he wanted.

Aislin smirked and closed her legs. "You made quite the mess," she said as he wiped his paw off on the carpet.

Saber's breathing slowed down as he rejoined Aislin on the couch. "I'll clean it up later," he said and embraced her from behind, relaxing with her warm body against his. She exhaled softly and held his forepaw pressed to her chest.

"You know, we never cleaned up your mess from our first time together. Rhona slept in that."

Saber chuckled uneasily, recalling all of the times before that when he hadn't cleaned up after himself. "I'm sure she enjoyed it."

Aislin elicited a terse, quiet growl. "I bet she did."

"Aislin... you shouldn't be too hard on her. It was my fault too."

She sighed, and a long pause followed as the TV played in the background. "This isn't the first time something like this has happened." She looked at him with a sad expression, her dark green eyes glistening. "A year or two before I had met you, there was someone else I thought I had loved... And she took him away from me."

"Kale?" Saber asked curiously.

She shook her head. "His name was Noland. He was outgoing and cheerful, and he really liked me. We never mated, but we were close to it. Rhona knew that... but she seduced him one night, and he mated with her instead. After that, he left. He seemed to have felt terrible about it, but I've never heard from him since."

Saber nuzzled her neck, comforting Aislin. She rarely opened up her past to him as it brought back unpleasant memories. "I'm sorry... but there's a big difference between Noland and I."

A soft grin spread her cheeks as she touched her necklace. "You didn't mate with Rhona?"

Saber nodded. "But it's because I love you."

"Saber..."

"You're special to me, Aislin," he continued. "I would never betray you."

He heard her sniffle, and she looked away from him. He grinned, knowing that he struck a soft spot in her heart. Saber liked her sensitive side. She disliked showing it in front of him, but she couldn't always hold it back.

Saber hugged her tighter and comforted her. "You're beautiful, kind, caring, selfless, and helpful. You try to hide all of this from everyone, including me. You don't have to hide anything from me, Aislin. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect mate."

Saber meant every word he said. Though she would never admit it, Aislin cared about the humans she'd met, too. Even if they were rude to her, she would look past that and do what she could. She probably didn't even realize it herself.

Aislin elicited a soft cry, her strong composure almost broken. "S- Saber... You make me so happy...You mean the world to me."

Tears welled in Saber's eyes too. He remained quiet and embraced her warmly, allowing her the moment to release her pent up emotions. He wrapped a wing over her body and rubbed his cheek against hers, feeling her wet, pebbly scales. The grip she had around his paw tightened and their tails intertwined.

Of all the moments they had shared together so far, Saber thought that this one was the most special. The first time she opened up to him was a close second, but they hadn't been mates then. He couldn't hold her as close as he did now. He couldn't comfort her like he did now.

Saber felt an irreplaceable warmth in his chest as Aislin poured her emotions out to him. It was a fuzzy feeling that made him feel vulnerable just as she was. He lowered his defenses completely, letting a stream of joyful tears escape his eyes. This is what it felt like to have a mate.

"Th-Thank you..." she said a few minutes later.

"Anytime," he responded and licked her cheek. I would do anything to make you happy, Aislin. I wish I could have been there for you. I wish things would have been better for you. From here on, I will be the solid rock you can lean against, Saber promised.

"It's almost time for work," she stated, wiping her tears away.

Saber looked at the clock: three thirty-two. "I suppose it is. Shall we clean ourselves?" he asked.

Aislin nodded. "I hope we don't lose our jobs."

"Me too."

Blah blah blah, better formatting is on the file at the top of the page on the document Saber's Day Out. =P

Next chapter!

► Show Spoiler

Saber and Aislin quickly bathed together, washing away their grime to feel new again. Saber remembered the first time they had showered together. He had been so nervous and embarrassed then, but afterward they both had the time of their lives: their first mating.

Saber grinned happily as Aislin put her emerald necklace back on. "Are you ready, my love?" he asked as he finished drying off. He liked that and he though it had a much better ring to it than “my queen.”

Aislin’s beautiful gray scales were cleanly and glossy while his dark-violet scales had a nice, shiny gleam to them. Saber thought she was the most beautiful dragoness in the world even when he had first met her. He wondered what she really thought of his looks.

Aislin returned his smile and nodded. "Although, I wish we could get a day off."

They left the warmth of the apartment and flew through the cold, mid-autumn skies. It seemed like winter was coming up fast with how quick the temperature was dropping. Saber expected that it would begin to snow soon, and he looked forward to it. He loved snow!

Aislin growled, "I hate this weather. It's too cold." She, on the other hand, did not enjoy the upcoming season as much as Saber. "Spring better come fast."

Saber shook his head in disappointment. "You don't enjoy the snow?"

"I despise the snow. It's cold, it gets everywhere, and it makes everything so bright that it almost hurts my eyes!"

Saber glanced at her, surprised. "You know… a snowman? You put three giant snowballs on top each other and decorate them to look like a man."

Aislin stared at him blankly, confused.

Saber grinned toothily. "Come this winter, I'm going to show you all the things that my human family taught me. I'm sure you'll like it!"

Aislin smiled. "Maybe."

Saber reminisced about his past, grinning widely as he remembered all of the pleasant memories during the time he spent at his old home. It was true that he missed his old family, but he was much happier now than what he had been. He was beginning to find meaning in his life; he had a job, a warm home, and a mate to love. There wasn’t much more he could ask for other than the hatchling on its way.

When they touched down at the entrance to the post office, Aislin warned, "Just keep your mouth shut and hope nobody says anything. We should be fine."

Saber simply nodded and followed her. He prayed that Rhona wasn't still inside. He knew that Aislin hadn't forgotten about her. He didn’t want to know what she would do to the white dragoness if she got her claws around Rhona.

After they passed through the lobby and opened the next door, Saber saw the same crotchety, old man from the morning, also known as Not-William.

A twisted smile curled his lips as he turned around in his chair. "Well, if it isn't the two troublemakers. William won't be here today... or tomorrow, and even the day after that. In fact, he won't be here ever again!" He got way more joy out of that than anyone should have.

Saber gulped uneasily. What happened to William? he thought nervously. "Why isn't he coming back?" he asked innocently. Aislin shot him a quick glance, reminding him not to speak.

"I fired him," Donley answered absolutely. "I probably would have fired you too had I known who you were earlier, Saber."

Saber shrunk back, clinging close to Aislin as their boss' glare stared down upon him. Aislin growled protectively and stepped in front of her mate.

"After the stunt you two pulled last night, you're lucky to still be working here. You both broke all the codes and regulations that not even humans are allowed to get away with. If it wasn't for William sticking his neck out for you, your scaly asses would have been gone!"

"What do you mean?" Aislin hissed angrily.

"The fool sacrificed his job for the both of yours—for two dragons. What an idiot," he ridiculed. “I could have replaced two dragons easily, but now I have to find someone to replace him.” He grumbled beneath his breath and shifted a stack of papers around.

Aislin growled, "William is our friend!" Saber was surprised for her to stick up for him like that.

Mr. Donley stood up and threateningly pointed towards the locker room. "Put your suits on and get busy before I fire you too," he ordered strictly.

Aislin bared her fangs, hesitating before she finally complied with his orders. She shook her head indignantly and her tail twitched violently behind her. Saber quickly padded away, grabbing her suit and a new one for him before he rejoined her in the locker room.

Aislin stormed back and forth, hissing, growling, and baring her fangs angrily. "Of all the stupid, inane things I've ever heard here..." She swiped the air with her claws and hissed. "Evelyn was right."

"What was she right about?" Saber asked curiously. He stood at the other end of the room, avoiding his mate’s vicious outburst.

"I should have quit while I had the chance..." she muttered. Aislin shook her head. "No, then I would have never met you..."

Saber tried to comfort Aislin, bravely stepping up to her, but he wasn't very good at quelling her rage. She huffed and walked away from him, continuing her bout as he shied away. "I think we would have met no matter what," he said with confidence.

"It doesn't matter now, anyway." She shut him down immediately.

"Why don't we both quit now?" he asked.

Aislin looked at him as if he didn't understand, which was actually a spot on assumption. "If we quit now, then William took the fall for nothing. He offered his job in place of ours. He most likely took the blame and said it was his fault when it was actually..." Aislin growled and swiped the air again. "When it's all my fault."

"Aislin... We both did it. Don't blame yourself,” he consoled. “Remember when we both agreed that it was worth it, no matter what happens?"

"But William shouldn't have involved himself!" she hissed. "Now he doesn't have a job. I don’t even know if he has a family or not. Who knows if he’ll get another job!"

Saber nodded in understanding. I guess I saw him earlier just before he was fired... and he gave me that money. Saber felt guilty. He never wanted anything to happen to William, and the fact that Saber took his money only made it worse.

"Well, what do we do now?" Saber asked with concern.

Aislin grumbled to herself and grabbed her suit from him. "Our jobs," she tersely answered.

Saber dressed himself, not daring to ask Aislin to fasten his second clip. He had never seen her so angry before... she was almost terrifying. Even though she was only dressing, she dressed angrily. Once they were both ready to go and Saber had put his nametag on his uniform, she stormed out of the locker room and demanded the letters that needed to be delivered. Saber meekly followed behind her with his head down, taking his own set. Today wasn’t going to be a good day.

It helped that Saber didn’t see Aislin much that day, but he couldn’t escape his own nagging thoughts. He felt responsible for William’s termination and couldn’t quite forget about it. It was their fault after all.

Saber shook his head and hissed to himself. Why did he do that for us?

Saber also had no idea that Mr. Donley was a complete ass. For a man that runs a part of his business with dragons, he didn’t seem like the type to be harsh towards Saber’s kind. It was no wonder he hired another person to manage the dragons. Now Saber wondered who would replace William, hoping it wouldn’t be someone like his boss.

Saber’s second day alone went smoothly in spite of the fact that his mind was roiling with unhappiness. Most of the people he delivered to cheered him up a bit, and Saber enjoyed briefly chatting with them. Aislin had made the job sound terrible since they were dealing with humans, but Saber thought differently. Humans were just as unique as dragons. Each individual had a different personality and whole other set of traits… It was just hard to find the good ones.

Aislin cooled down quite a bit towards the evening. When Saber saw her again, she wasn’t angry. In fact, she was more depressed than anything, and that made his heart ache. He wanted to shower her with every bit of love and comfort he could muster.

“Hey, Aislin,” Saber greeted cheerfully, stepping into the break room. The break room was now their favorite place to rest while they had nothing to do since the weather was rather cold this week.

It was a small room with a few chairs, a couch, a television, a water dispenser, and a snack machine. Instead of cartoons playing on the television, it was a sports game that Saber recognized as football. Humans would often come around and watch it, though Saber never saw the point of watching others play a game. He’d rather just play himself!

Aislin looked up and softly smiled at him, blinking away drowsiness. She had been resting on the couch with her eyes closed. “Hey, Saber.”

Saber joined her at the other end. It was an understood rule that they weren’t allowed to cuddle or show intimate affection while they were at work… a rule they had trampled on and destroyed last night. The best they could do was intertwining their tails together, so they did.

“I’m sorry that I got so angry earlier,” she apologized. “I didn’t mean to take it out on you.”

“You didn’t do anything to me, but I feel sorry for the air around you,” he teased.

Aislin sighed. “Perhaps, but I still feel terrible about it. I shouldn’t let him get to me like that.”

“It’s fine, Aislin. I was angry with him, too,” Saber replied with reassurance.

She chuckled. “You? Angry?”

Saber nodded. “I had no idea that Mr. Donley was such an ass.”

Aislin rolled her eyes. “You just swore. Wow, you must have been angry!”

Saber grumbled and playfully kicked her. “Someone’s feeling better.”

Aislin hesitantly grinned and nodded. “It’s just… I realized what I have going for me, and William saved all of that. I have a perfect mate, and we live in the perfect home… with a hatchling along the way.” Saber noticed that Aislin briefly touched her stomach and wondered if she knew for sure yet or not. He doubted it, as it was way too soon to tell.

She continued, “If we had lost our jobs, then we would have struggled to find another place to hire us. Then we could have lost our warm home… and our hatchling wouldn’t have a good place to live. And…” she trailed off as she closed her eyes.

“Aislin…” Saber clambered off the couch and nuzzled her comfortingly. “Everything is fine now. We don’t have to worry about anything. We just have to be smart and not press our luck.”

She sniffled and nodded with a small grin. “I… I want to get William’s address so we can go and thank him.” She touched her necklace and looked at it fondly. “For everything…”

Saber grinned and licked her cheek. “Well, who do we ask? We work at a post office, after all.”

“I know a few people that may know. I’ll go ask around while they’re still here.”

Saber nodded and gave her a quick kiss before she left. He watched her go, his eyes on her swaying rear. A bit of lust spurred within him and he grinned as his imagination roamed. He climbed back onto the couch and daydreamed about mating with Aislin. Luckily for him, his clothing held his erection tightly against his body, so if a human did happen to come around it was easy to conceal.

It was different without having William around. To Saber the whole place seemed rather… drab. The others that worked here tended to be in separate parts of the building, and they also left a lot earlier than what Saber and Aislin did. While Aislin wasn’t around, Saber was stuck with himself being bored.

The day seemed to drag on for hours and hours before Aislin and Saber were finally undressing in the locker room together.

“If I’m not mistaken, that’s the same apartment complex we live in… and the room number is 505.”

“Wait…” Saber wore a confused expression. “Isn’t ours 504?”

Aislin nodded.

“So… he’s our neighbor? But I thought that Ruari was our neighbor.”

“I think William’s might be the one before ours, not after it.”

“That’s quite the coincidence! You’ve never seen either of them?”

Aislin shook her head. “I don’t visit people ever… and it makes sense since our schedules are different from theirs. William probably takes longer to get home, so even if we left at the same time we wouldn’t arrive at the same time.

Aislin chuckled. “But who knows how long he’ll remain our neighbor. I hope he can find a new job quick.”

After they put their uniforms away, they flew straight home in the brisk night air. Saber was excited to see William and hoped that William would be glad to see them too.

They landed on the fifth floor and stepped inside. They passed the rooms as they numbered up from 500.

“Strange,” Aislin commented as they passed their door and found 505. “This is Ruari’s apartment.”

“You’re sure you got the correct address?”

She nodded. “I guess it doesn’t hurt to check,” she said and pressed the doorbell.

They waited for a moment before hearing claws clacking on the other side of the door. Ruari opened it and greeted them, poking his black head through the crack. “Oh, hello! I didn’t expect visitors! What brings you two here at this hour?” he asked quickly.

Saber thought he seemed rather jumpy, but from what he could tell Ruari had a strange personality anyway. He and Aislin were probably interrupting something of his.

“Sorry to bug you, but we were looking for a friend of ours, William. I was told that he lives here, but I guess that was obviously wrong,” Aislin explained.

“W-William?” he stuttered. “Why are you searching for him, my dear?” Saber noticed that Ruari was acting stranger than normal, and he was hiding most of his body from sight. It made him wonder whether or not that Ruari had a female over since he seemed so nervous. He might be hiding an erection like Saber had earlier!

Aislin looked at him curiously and asked, “Do you know William? He was our boss.”

Ruari chuckled lightly and nodded. “Yes, William and I are acquainted. You two work at the post office?”

Aislin grinned. “Yes. Do you know where he lives? We wanted to thank him.”

Ruari glanced behind the door for a second. “I… uhm… I do know where lives… but I believe he’s unavailable currently.”

Aislin was picking up on his strange behavior too but continued to press him for more information. “Well, could you tell us? We can visit him another time.”

He sighed. “Well truthfully, my dear, he lives here with me.”

Saber’s eyes widened, and Aislin was also surprised. “He lives here?” she asked with shock.

He nodded. “I wasn’t aware that you two knew him… but if you could return later, we could all reacquaint ourselves.”

Aislin and Saber agreed. “It’s getting a little late, though. Mind if we come back in an hour?” Aislin asked.

Ruari grinned and replied, “An hour will be plenty of time. Thank you for understanding.” He said farewell and quickly shut the door before Aislin and Saber had turned to leave.

“What do you think that was about?” she asked Saber as they returned to their own home next door.

“I don’t know,” he answered, welcoming the warmth of their home as his paw pads stepped on the soft carpet. “He wasn’t like that earlier. I think he has a dragoness over or something.”

Aislin nodded and climbed up onto the couch with Saber. “That would explain that weird combination of scents I smelled wafting out of his home. I figured he had been masturbating!”

Saber chuckled and happily nuzzled Aislin. He smelled her scent as he brushed his snout over her neck. “I’m glad I don’t have to do that anymore.”

Aislin grinned. “Me too.”

“You masturbated?” Saber asked, surprised.

“Of course! Did you think that only males could have some fun alone?”

Saber shook his head and grinned. “No… I just never really thought about you… playing with yourself like that.”

“Oh, I’ve done a lot of things with myself, Saber,” she cooed teasingly. Aislin smiled deviously and lifted her leg, pressing a paw to her exposed slit. “Would you like an example?”

Saber’s eyes were immediately glued to her nethers, watching her toes play and spread apart her folds. “I- I would love an example…”

“Well, we do have an hour to burn… I suppose I don’t mind giving my mate a little show.” Aislin licked his chin and sensually traced her tongue across his cheek while Saber watched her paw at her crotch. Her strong scent wafted into his nostrils as her arousal began to coat her paw. He saw the glistening liquid clinging to her scales and paw pads. Saber groaned and clenched his toes, feeling arousal weaving its way into his mind like a dense fog. His hard length was soon pressing against her rear firmly.

As she rubbed and caressed herself, Saber felt himself wanting to pleasure her too. Watching her was all too much of a tease, and he could hardly control himself. His hips swiveled and his length grinded against her hind. He wanted to mount her again, and he wanted it bad.

“Nnngh… Aislin… c- can we just mate?” Saber asked hopefully.

“Can’t stand waiting?” she teased and nuzzled him.

An idea popped into Saber’s mind, something that he had wanted to try with her. He pushed against Aislin’s body and shoved her off of the couch.

“H- Hey!” she objected. “Saber!” She landed on her paws and glared at him.

Saber grinned deviously, eagerly continuing what he had started as he grabbed her rear end. He held her down while his snout nuzzled the base of her tail and his tongue licked teasingly around it.

“W- What do you think y- you’re doing?” she huffed irately, but her compliance betrayed her false dissent. She liked what was happening and Saber knew it.

Saber lifted her tail and shoved his snout beneath it, brushing it over her wet and soft slit. She cooed and shivered as his tongue found her vent. He blushed warmly as he asserted his position as the dominant role. He tasted her slick fluids on his tongue, enjoying her delectable flavor. Aislin pushed against him, but Saber held her firmly and began to massage her rump. She moaned and lifted her tail for him, giving in completely to his antics.

“D- Don’t think I will let you d- do this all the time…” Aislin said.

Saber grinned again, pleased with her response. His tongue traced up her slit and slathered over her tailhole, making Aislin shudder again. After their mating earlier in the day, Saber wanted to try something new with her, something he had never imagined himself doing before. Hesitantly, he licked around her tailhole to build up his confidence. He wasn’t sure what she would taste like or how foul it would be.

But he set aside his inhibitions and pushed his tongue into her, spreading apart her anal passage as his tongue invaded her tight hole. Saber’s face flushed warmly while his tongue buried itself into her rear. Aislin groaned and pushed against his snout, taking his warmth delightedly.

“Oh, Saber… you dirty male!” she cooed.

Saber thrust his tongue in and out of her tailvent, feeling her tight muscles clenching around his tongue. He was relieved to find that she didn’t taste bad at all! In fact, he didn’t really taste anything. It helped that his tongue had been coated in her secretions, making it easier for his probing muscle to slip inside her.

After Saber had finished tending to her with his tongue, he withdrew, much to Aislin’s disappointment. She watched him as he grabbed her rump and climbed on top of her. His weight shifted over her torso as he brought up a hind paw and clenched her rear, bringing his hips to meet hers while he moved her tail to the side.

Aislin cooed beneath him and submissively lowered her torso, exposing her hind to him so that he could take her in any way he pleased. Saber grinned victoriously and prodded for her tailhole, aiming to satiate his own desire. His tip pushed firmly against her anal entrance until it suddenly slipped in and caused Aislin to jerk her body and growl.

Saber suddenly felt ashamed and worried for her, snapping out of his stupor. He stopped where he was with his tip nestled just inside her rear. “A- Aislin, I- I’m so sorry!”

Aislin looked back at him and grinned playfully. “What are you stopping for? Keep going ,Saber!”

“Aislin?” he asked with concern. She winced and clenched her claws tightly.

She suddenly pushed back against him and hissed as Saber’s length spread her tight walls apart. Saber groaned loudly and grabbed her body to steady himself. Feeling his cock delving into her constricting warmth sent him reeling, bringing lust back to cloud his mind. Concern pressed against his conscience, but he tried to ignore it for his and Aislin’s sake. She seemed to want this just as much as he did!

Saber’s knot pushed firmly against her tailhole as he filled her with his thick girth. Saber growled in a lustful fit and gently dipped in and out, letting Aislin adjust to his cock. She groaned lustfully beneath him with her eyes tightly shut. It looked painful to her, but she was soon moaning with pleasure as Saber began to gently hump her.

Taking her in the rear was unimaginably pleasant for Saber. Not only was it just and soft and warm as her sex, it was tight and her muscles constricted his cock pleasurably. As his length thrust in and out of her, Saber felt his tapered tip snugly rubbing and massaging her anal passage. His dribbling pre helped lubricate her even more, making it easier for him to slip in and out. He moaned and humped her faster. He heard pained groans as she shifted and adjusted to ease his penetration.

Saber stepped forward with his other foot, mingling his toes with hers as more of his weight shifted over her. He pounded against her, almost slamming his cock into her tight depths. Aislin groaned lewdly with her head lowered submissively, taking each thrust as it jounced her body back and forth. Saber’s cock slid in and out of her anal passage, pushing and pulling against her soft walls.

With a lustful growl, Saber felt his instincts beginning to take over. His thrusts became wild and forceful, almost pounding Aislin into the ground. Pleasure coursed through him in powerful waves as his cock slammed into her. He brought up his other hind paw and clenched her other hip, putting all of his weight on top of Aislin. He flared his wings to keep his balance while he rutted her.

Saber had never been so rough with Aislin before. Even when he had mated her during her heat, when his instincts were driving him mad, he didn’t push her far. He hoped that he wasn’t hurting her and that she was enjoying it just as much as he was.

Aislin hissed pleasurably with her eyes tightly shut as her torso was forced to the ground by his forepaws pushing on her shoulders. Aislin’s head pressed to the ground, and her claws tore into the carpet as Saber mounted her and rutted her like a feral animal. She managed to keep her rear up with his added weight while he rocked her body roughly.

Saber slathered his tongue over the back of her neck, smothering her gray scales with his saliva. He brought his wings down and shrouded her body in his warmth as they grasped at her shoulders. Saber lost himself as his orgasm rapidly approached, mindlessly rutting Aislin.

Saber’s instincts fogged his mind in a dense haze. His only concern was satisfying his own lust. In his flurry of thrusts, he suddenly felt his entirety slip inside her, knot and all. He nearly slipped off of her gray body but caught himself with his forearms on the ground. His purple belly pressed against her back as he completely hilted her, his sheath pressing against her tailhole. His blue hind paws gripped her rump while his claws dug into her scales and he slammed his hips against her rear.

He growled and cried out with Aislin as his cock began to spasm with his knot buried inside her tailhole. His length throbbed against her tight and constricting passage, pulsing as his hot seed spewed from his tip and filled her. He humped her and his balls slapped against the base of her tail. His blissful orgasm coursed through his loins, warming them with pleasure as his cock spilled his seed inside her.

Aislin groaned and moaned her lusts as Saber claimed her rear. He lost the strength to continue humping her, so he stopped and let his climax wash over him, feeling the warm jets of his seed splatter against her anal passage. He licked the base of Aislin’s neck along her shoulders, slathering his saliva over her darker gray scales. His entire body seemed to slow down to a stall as the bliss of his orgasm began to fade. Everything seemed so calm and pleasant.

Saber wasn’t sure if Aislin had her orgasm yet or not, so he reached a forepaw between her hind legs, carefully balancing himself so he wouldn’t fall. He rubbed his paw over her soaked slit, smearing her secretions around her crotch. Aislin moaned and shuddered as he pleasured her. He felt her anal muscles clench him tightly as he began to massage her clitoris.

“Nnngh… Oh, Saber… yesss,” she moaned encouragingly. She panted raggedly and grunted with the strokes of his paw. His soft paw pads quickly accumulated her secretions and slid effortlessly over her scales. As he pawed at her, Saber gently rolled his hips into hers, pushing his cock deeper until he slightly pulled back. His knot was still nestled inside her tailhole, filling her with pressure.

Her muscles suddenly clenched down on his cock and lightly spasmed as she moaned loudly. More secretions oozed out of her entrance. Aislin hit her orgasm and trembled. Saber smiled softly, happy to have brought his mate to a pleasureful climax. He gently caressed her until she was finished, cooing into her ear.

“S- Saber… you’re too heavy!”

“Sorry!” he apologized and returned his hind paws to the ground, shifting his weight off of her.

“T- Thank you…” Aislin breathed deeply in and out, coming down from her orgasm. She winced and shifted.

Saber’s knot contracted slightly, but it must have been hurting her. He carefully tried to pull his cock out of her, but she hissed and complained.

“A- Aislin?” Saber asked, concern etched across his face.

She looked back and smiled at him with confidence. “I’m fine,” she reassured. “I’m just a little sore.”

“I’m sorry…”

“Don’t be. I enjoyed that a lot, Saber.”

Saber nodded in understanding, but he couldn’t help but to feel bad about it. He hurt the love of his life just to satiate his own lust. He should have never pushed her so far.

“Saber,” she growled. “I said I was fine. Stop worrying about me,” she commanded with an angry glare.

Saber avoided her gaze, looking down with shame. “You’re in pain because of me…”

Aislin growled and suddenly withdrew from him. Saber’s knot slipped out of her with an audible squelch as he fell to all four of his paws. She hissed and winced, but she turned around and nuzzled him tenderly, kissing and licking his muzzle. She hid her pain well, but Saber knew that it hurt.

“If I didn’t like it, I would have made you stop. I didn’t like you fretting over our mating, so I stopped it. I’m not helpless, Saber!”

Saber nuzzled her in return and felt a grin curl his lips. “I’m sorry, Aislin. I don’t mean to belittle you. I… I just care for you. A lot.”

“I know that,” she said and looked into his crimson eyes. “That’s why I love you.”

Saber smiled and kissed her, sharing his affection. Their tongues mingled together passionately as their heads cocked to the side. They were much better at kissing than what they had been. It was much easier for them to lose themselves in it. Saber could never tell how long they kissed, but when they withdrew he knew it was just long enough. The adorable smile on her muzzle was unforgettable.

“We should clean ourselves up again before we go over to Ruari’s,” Saber offered.

Aislin nodded. “We really need to clean our carpet at some point…” she said, looking at the floor where small puddles of liquid glistened.

Saber chuckled. “We’ll get to it eventually.”

It didn’t take long for them to shower, and they were soon clean and dry with brilliantly shining gray and purple scales. It was almost an hour later, so they walked over to Ruari’s apartment for a second try. Aislin made sure to put her necklace back on so William could see it.

“So, do you think William really lives here with Ruari?” Saber asked as Aislin rang the doorbell.

“I don’t see why not; although, I’ve never heard of a human living with a dragon. It’s kind of strange…”

“It can’t be too strange,” Saber commented. “I lived with a family of humans.”

“But you slept in a separate building.”

Saber nodded and remained silent as Ruari’s claws came clacking up to the door. “Hello again!” he cheerfully greeted, this time opening his home up to them. Warm, scented air rolled out of his apartment before they even walked in.

Saber studied Ruari curiously, seeing if there was any evidence of his strange behavior earlier. His body was covered in jet-black, glossy scales. His white claws were shiny and polished, as were his two pairs of ivory horns. The top pair was longer than the bottom, and they both protruded straight out of the back of his head. It looked like he had just bathed as well!

“I apologize for earlier. I don’t ever have guests at such a late hour, and you two really flustered me!”

“We’re sorry for surprising you like that,” Aislin said.

They stepped into his warm home. It smelled fresh as if a flower-scented perfume had been sprayed around. The layout was similar to Aislin’s, but Ruari had quite a bit more furniture than her, mainly desks, shelves, and bookcases. Books were strewn everywhere; a few were even open on the floor. He didn’t have a TV, but he did have the same couch. A glass table was set in front of it, holding more books and some pens.

There was an armchair in the corner beneath a lamp where William was sitting with his glasses hung loosely on his nose. He was reading until he looked up and saw Aislin and Saber.

He grinned widely and stood up to greet them. “Aislin! Saber! Ruari told me you two were here, but I didn’t believe him. What brings ya to see me?”

Aislin immediately ran to William and jumped up onto him, giving him a big hug with her forearms and wings. Her black paws gripped his shoulders while her wings embraced him.

“Woah!” William exclaimed and staggered backward, trying his best to hold Aislin up as she wrapped herself around him.

Saber grinned softly, watching as she nuzzled him affectionately. He sat next to Ruari, who looked rather surprised.

“A- Aislin… this isn’t like ya,” William commented. “What’s gotten into you?”

“I- I’m sorry… I’m s- sorry, William,” she sobbed into his shoulder, breaking down as her emotions seeped from her.

William hugged her tightly, and that warmed Saber’s heart. He wanted so badly to be the one comforting Aislin as she opened up her heart, but he understood that it wasn’t his place this time. It was William’s.

Aislin slowly calmed down, burying her snout into his shoulder. “It’s m- my fault that we got you fired.”

“Ash…”

She shook her head. “It’s my fault!”

“It’s not your fault, Ash. There’s no one to blame,” he consoled.

“Yes there is! I could have waited… I could ha—”

“Aislin.” William looked sternly at her as she raised her head. “What happened was for a reason. From what I understand, a very good one too.”

Aislin looked at him with an empty expression of confusion. “What do you mean?”

“You and Sabe… erhm… mated while you were in heat, right? So you’ll probably be havin’ kids, right?”

Aislin nodded.

William smiled and patted her head. “That’s a good enough reason for anyone.”

“But Mr. Donley fired you!” she continued.

Aislin climbed down off of him, and William kneeled down so he was still face to face with her. “Listen, Ash… I don’t need that job as much as you do. If I ever had to make that decision again, I’d choose the same without a doubt. I like you guys.”

“We could have waited…” Her eyes were focused on the ground beneath them.

William patted her on the head. “It happened, Ash. Don’t regret what ya did. I’m happy for ya… I’m not angry or upset.”

Aislin looked back up at him and nuzzled him before embracing him again. Saber took that as his cue and walked up to William. He grinned warmly at the human, glad to see his friend again.

William smiled back and motioned for Saber to join them. Saber wrapped one wing around Aislin and the other around William, bringing them both in for a group hug. He rubbed Aislin’s back to comfort her and nestled his head next to hers.

Saber wasn’t sure how long they embraced like that, but it felt right. When they all separated, William glanced down at the emerald necklace dangling from Aislin’s neck.

“That’s a pretty necklace, Ash. It looks good on ya.”

Aislin grinned toothily and looked at it admiringly. “Thank you, William. Saber told me that you had a part in this… I really appreciate it.”

William smiled kindly and replied, “It’s no problem.” He stood up and offered the couch to them. “Stay and relax a bit. Ruari and I won’t mind the company.”

Saber glanced behind him and noticed that Ruari was missing; he must have padded off somewhere. He climbed up onto the right side of the couch and opened his arms for Aislin. He embraced her lovingly from behind as they cuddled together. Their tails intertwined and dangled off of the couch.

William was grinning widely as he returned to his chair. “Y’know, I always thought you two would make a cute couple.”

Saber blushed warmly and buried his snout into Aislin’s neck.

“And why’s that?” Aislin asked, smirking.

He shrugged his shoulders and chuckled. “Just a feelin’ I had. I just never thought you’d hit it off so quick!”

Aislin smiled and nuzzled Saber. “I knew we would.”

Saber added, “She was very persistent.”

Aislin nibbled his chin playfully. “I get what I want.”

Ruari returned, balancing a platter that carried a steaming kettle, several tea cups, and some cream and sugar. “I made us some herbal tea,” he said. “You’re welcome to as much as you want. It helps you sleep!”

William quickly cleared off a part of the table for Ruari so he could sit it down. Aislin and Saber both thanked him and grabbed a small cup of hot tea, sitting on the floor in front of the table. Saber sat between Aislin and Ruari.

“How long have you lived here, William?” Aislin asked curiously. “I didn’t realize we were neighbors.”

“Neither did I! I’d say we’ve lived here for well over a year now. Right, Ruari?”

The black dragon nodded. “We moved in last May.”

“So then how did you two meet? I’ve never heard of a dragon and a human living together like this.”

William chuckled awkwardly and Ruari turned his head away. “Well… I guess we met at a bookstore here in town. I really like to read, and Ruari really likes to write.”

William continued, “He really knows his stuff, too. He’s published a couple of books!”

“Dragons can publish books?” Saber asked. “I’ve never seen any before.”

“It’s quite the convoluted situation, really,” Ruari began. “A dragon is entitled the rights to publishing, but most companies won’t even give an attempt to publish a dragon’s name with a book. William and I have been working together; I write the stories and he publishes it through a company under his name. That way I can make a living doing what I do.”

“That’s unfortunate,” Saber commented and took another sip of his tea. It tasted good and it felt nice and warm going down, soothing.

William nodded. “We’re hopin’ to someday come out with the truth. Maybe we could change a few minds.”

“That will be a pleasant change,” Aislin said.

Saber’s eyes wandered around the room while they continued to casually talk about different subjects. He half-mindedly participated while sipping on his tea. It was a peaceful-looking home. Everything was arranged perfectly for both dragon and human. In the room to the right, Saber could see a desk with a laptop sitting on it, open with a blank screen.

Then he noticed something on the table in front of him that caught his attention: a half-full bottle of lubricant. It was just sitting there, completely forgotten by whomever’s it was. Saber figured it was William’s since dragons didn’t need lubricants to masturbate. But Saber thought it was odd that he’d leave it out in the living room.

An idea clicked in Saber’s head, and he finally realized why Ruari had acted so strange earlier. He and William were mates! Did Aislin know that? Was Saber supposed to know that? Ruari and William didn’t seem to want them to know, and they hid it quite well. Should I tell them that I know? Maybe I’m wrong…

But Saber could see the intimate connection between Ruari and William. When their eyes would meet, Saber could see that there was a special glinting in them like his and Aislin’s. They both shared that same soft expression, a kind and caring one.

Saber decided to snoop around first for some information. “When you two first met, what made you decide to live together?”

Ruari blushed and turned away. Even William seemed a little flustered at the question. “Well… uhm… We figured it would be easier to keep in touch. Ruari needed a place to stay, so he moved into my place for a while. It was rather cramped there, so we moved here together,” he explained.

Saber nodded, understanding entirely what was going on. He was surprised; there wasn’t much talk about humans and dragons mating, and certainly not two of the same gender. It was odd in both cultures to have the same genders mating, but it wasn’t unheard of. From what Saber understood, dragons were much more comfortable with it than humans were.

But neither of them seemed to want Saber and Aislin to know. They kept their secret hidden. Saber understood why they would, but he wished that they would have been more open, if they really were mates.

As the conversation died down and the tea had been drunk, Aislin and Saber decided to take their leave, as it was getter rather late. They both hugged and thanked William again and turned to leave.

“You’re both welcome to come over anytime you’d like. Just make sure you buzz us first!”

Aislin chuckled and grinned toothily. “Yeah, we wouldn’t want to catch you two in the act,” she joked suggestively.

A moment of awkward, dead silence passed between the four of them. Aislin looked around with a confused expression. “Was that supposed to be a secret? You two didn’t hide it very well…”

“Uh, well… we… uhm…” Ruari tried to object or say something, but he ended up shaking his head with a flushed face, looking at William for help. Even William was blushing profusely! Saber had never seen him so abashed before; his usual calm and collected self was stunned.

“It’s not that unusual for a dragon to mate with the same gender,” Aislin explained. “It’s just different for a dragon to mate with a human.”

Ruari nodded and said, “Among our own kind, it’s quite common for us to experiment with pleasure… I suppose it’s only natural that we happened by chance.”

William agreed as well. “But how did you know, Aislin?”

Aislin grinned smugly and held her head high as she began, “When I was hugging you, I could smell Ruari’s scent on you. I thought it was just because you lived together, but it was really strong when I climbed off of you. That, and I saw the bottle of lube on the table.”

“I told you to shower, you stinky oaf!” Ruari scolded playfully hitting William with his tail.

“And I told ya to make sure everythin’ was cleaned up!”

Ruari grumbled and nipped at his hand. “Maybe we should have agreed to what I wanted to do. Then we wouldn’t have had any complications.”

Aislin nodded, grinning smugly. “Have good night, you two,” she said to Ruari and William, turning to leave with Saber.

They nodded and bid them farewell, continuing a lover’s quarrel as their guests left.

Aislin and Saber walked into their apartment and cuddled on their bed together, happily relaxing as drowsiness settled over them. Saber thought about mating with her again, but he realized that his body was exhausted. It had been a really long day, and he was glad it was finally over.

“So… William and Ruari, huh?”

A sly grin spread her cheeks. “I kind of figured something was up. I think it’s kind of cute,” she replied.

Saber nodded. “I wonder who likes to be the bottom.”

She chuckled and answered, “William. I’m sure of it.”

Saber laughed with her and placed a forepaw on Aislin’s warm belly, rubbing it in gentle strokes. “What do you think our hatchling will look like?” he asked, changing the subject.

Aislin nuzzled and licked him tenderly, tracing her tongue across his chin. “I’m sure he or she will be the most beautiful hatchling in the world.”

Saber smiled happily and nodded. He nuzzled his snout into her shoulder and felt himself slipping into slumber.

The more posts I make, the lazier I get~ LOOK UP for the information and stuff. =3

► Show Spoiler

Saber woke the next morning holding Aislin tightly against him. He drowsily blinked his eyes and yawned, thinking he might fall asleep again. He nuzzled her with a happy grin across his muzzle, enjoying the warmth of her body against his. Again, his exposed flesh was rubbing against her rump. He sighed and crawled out of bed, careful not to disturb Aislin’s sleep.

Saber was glad that he was sleeping much better now than what he had. Instead of waking up early and having to take naps during the day, he was sleeping well through the night. It also helped that he had Aislin to cuddle with. She made him feel relaxed and calm.

While eating his breakfast, Saber realized that he wasn’t sure what he would do today. Now that he didn’t have to work at the jewelry shop, he had a lot of down time. Hopefully, Aislin would wake up soon so he could spend more time with her. She could decide what to do much better than he could! Saber wouldn’t mind mating with her again either.

Saber grinned as vivid and lewd images of Aislin ran through his imagination. He felt his sheath stir excitedly. After he finished his meal, he climbed up onto the couch and turned on the TV, letting his mind roam as cartoons played on the screen.

Aislin walked into the room soon after with her nostrils flaring. She yawned and stretched in front of him.

Saber blushed as her emerald eyes immediately searched between his legs. “G- Good morning, my love.” He shifted to cover himself better, bringing his hind legs up.

“You didn’t jerk off on the couch, did you?” she asked teasingly, joining him within his embrace.

“N- No! I didn’t…” He bit his lip as Aislin rubbed the back of her hind end against his hard flesh. He tensed up and lightly groaned.

“Relax, Saber! I wouldn’t have minded that anyway,” she cooed and licked his muzzle.

Saber smiled and nuzzled her affectionately. “Then you won’t be angry if I tell you that I masturbated in my old bed?”

“I wondered why your scent was so strong in there… I can’t believe you did that.”

“What was I supposed to do?” he teased, licking her forehead while grinding his cock against her rump. “You can’t expect a guy to be around a female as beautiful as you for that long and not have the chance to relieve himself.”

“I slept in that…”

Saber smirked and flicked his tongue across her cheek. “And you enjoyed it.”

As he grinded against Aislin, she cooed lustfully, pressing back into him. Aislin grinned and nuzzled him. “Every second.” She cooed softly and lifted a rear leg. “Take me right here, Saber,” she commanded.

Saber’s eyes grew. “You want to mate already?” He didn’t think that she would have wanted to so quickly after waking up.

Saber grinned toothily and licked her cheek happily. She still wasn’t a morning dragon, but he loved that about her anyway.

He lifted her tail, moving it over his hind end, and shifted his hips forward enough until he could line up his cock with her vent. He gripped her raised leg with a hind paw and pulled himself forward, prodding for her entrance. Aislin cooed encouragingly as his tapered tip poked into her warmth. Saber growled lustfully as he sank into her soft, moist sex, sliding into her heated folds.

Aislin gasped and clenched her toes. Saber’s hard length spread apart her muscles until his knot pushed against her entrance. Her tight muscles constricted around his cock, twitching as she adjusted to him. He nuzzled and caressed Aislin while holding her in a loving embrace. A forepaw caressed her chest while the other intimately caressed her lower belly. He intertwined his tail with hers and began to slowly dip in and out of her.

“Oh… Saber…” she moaned and relaxed her body, her head lying on the arm of the couch. “I love you.”

Saber grinned toothily with a fuzzy warmth blooming in his chest. He sensually licked behind her jaw, flicking his tongue over sensitive scales.

“I love you too.” He wrapped a wing around her as he began to nuzzle and nibble on her neck. While he intimately caressed her, he slowly humped her body, letting his length slide in and out with deliberate, gradual movements.

Aislin cooed and closed her eyes. She massaged him with her soft, internal muscles, pleasurably squeezing his hard cock. Saber moaned into her ear, gasping as he felt her clench down hard. He winced hugged her tightly, pushing into her a little faster. Aislin’s soft moans encouraged him and made it clear that she was enjoying this.

Saber had never taken it this slow before and wished he had. This was one of the most pleasurable experiences he had ever had. It felt like they had all of the time in the world in their paws, so why would they waste it? What was the point in a quick finish if they could just mate like this for as long as they’d like?

Saber moaned and realized that mating like this for an extended period may not be possible. He was already feeling an orgasm building up as he gently pushed in and pulled out of her. He clenched his toes and cooed into her ear, rubbing her body with his paws. His blue hind paw held her tighter while his other foot mingled with hers, their toes mixing together. Saber slid his member into her and felt her muscles beginning to undulate.

Aislin moaned loudly and suddenly tensed up. She started panting and her sex pulsated around his length. Saber’s eyes widened with surprise as Aislin’s orgasm flowed through her body in a shuddering wave. He moaned with her, encouraging his mate as she reached the peak of pleasure. He gently nibbled sensitive spots in her neck while he continued to slowly dip in and out of her pulsating sex.

The way her muscles moved and milked his length made Saber groan. He enjoyed the pleasant feelings coursing through him as Aislin orgasm died down. She panted and relaxed again, cooing and moaning.

“K- keep going… don’t stop… please,” she quietly said between breaths. Saber happily nuzzled her and did as she asked. He was surprised that she climaxed so early. Usually he was the first one to have an orgasm!

As Saber continued at his steady pace, he felt Aislin flinch and her muscles twitch. He could tell that her flesh was extremely sensitive from her orgasm. She occasionally winced and grunted, making Saber concerned.

“Are you sure you want me to keep going?” he asked worriedly.

“If you stop, I’ll smash your balls in,” she hissed.

Saber gulped and retorted, “A simple yes would have sufficed.” He waited for her reaction, but she was too enraptured with pleasure to respond. He smirked and humped her a little bit faster, eager to finish too. The claws on his hind paw clenched her gray scales tightly as Saber gently rocked their bodies back and forth on the couch. He pushed in until his knot stopped at her entrance and withdrew until his tapered tip nearly slipped out.

Pleasure welled inside Saber’s loins, encouraging him to go faster. But he took it slow, enjoying every second of lying intimately with his mate. His instincts tried to convince him otherwise, but Saber was determined to take it slow. With each gentle thrust he felt the pressure in his loins building. Letting that pressure sit there and accumulate felt almost as amazing and blissful as an orgasm.

Saber moaned softly and nibbled her shoulder. Aislin licked between his horns, cooing softly next to his ear. He embraced her tightly while rubbing and caressing her underbelly. His thrusts were increasing in speed whether he realized it or not. His knot was soon slapping against her vent as their hips created wet smacks.

Aislin growled lustfully beside him, taking his eager thrusts with pleasure. “Oooh yes, Saber!” she moaned encouragingly. Saber panted and blushed warmly, feeling lust fogging his mind. While his one hind paw held tightly to her leg, his other hind paw moved to the arm of the couch, pushing against it to give him extra drive in his thrusts.

Saber held her tightly and suddenly felt his pleasure peak. He gasped and shoved his length as deep as he could inside her without knotting her, letting his seed spill from his tip. His cock throbbed and pulsed against her walls as his semen filled her. Saber snuck a forepaw between her legs and began to massage Aislin’s clitoris. He moaned into her ear while lewdly slathering his tongue across her cheek.

Aislin cried out and climaxed, her shuddering orgasm claiming her body. She writhed as her inner muscles clamped down on his cock and milked him for a second time. Saber felt their warm, mixed liquids ooze out of her vent and past his knot, dribbling down to her thigh.

Saber sighed pleasurably as all of the pent up arousal finally released while his cock throbbed non-stop, ejaculating his seed. Aislin clenched her toes and moaned with him as her second orgasm soon came to an end. She relaxed, basking in the afterglow while Saber’s warm seed filled her.

As Saber came down from his climax, he panted and caressed her light-gray underbelly tenderly, cooing softly. He nuzzled her neck with affection and grinned.

“That was amazing, Aislin.”

A soft smile spread her lips. “So I’ve heard before.”

“That’s because it’s always amazing,” he retorted and flicked his tongue beneath her chin. She chuckled and nibbled on his jaw.

Saber was content in lying there with his mate while affectionately nuzzling, licking, and biting her. They remained connected at the hips until his length softened enough that it returned inside his sheath.

When Saber finally looked at the time, he was surprised to see that almost two hours had passed since he woke up. Another several hours remained until they had to work.

“So what would you like to do today?” he asked. “It’s been a while since we last had a day to ourselves.”

“We could go get lunch somewhere,” she offered. “I’m not very hungry for a slab of meat and could use something a bit more.”

Saber nodded. “I found this neat little restaurant with a patio for dragons the other day. They have umbrellas and everything!”

“It’s too cold to eat outside,” she complained. “What about somewhere that will allow us inside?”

Saber tried to think of all the places he’d seen, but he wasn’t sure whether or not they were dragon-friendly. “I don’t know… I can’t think of any.”

“I know of a few in the food court. We can look around there, but let’s clean ourselves first.”

Saber smiled and nodded again, following Aislin into the shower as they separated. He quite enjoyed showering with her now. Since they had the time, they made sure to clean each other everywhere, making sure to spend extra time cleaning each other’s nethers.

Saber enjoyed having his testicles caressed, and Aislin knew that well, especially since after she cleaned his balls, she’d have to clean his exposed cock as well. He didn’t mind that whatsoever, but he wished it would have gone farther than just a tease!

They finished and dried off, and were soon ready to leave as Aislin grabbed her necklace and coinpurse. Saber smiled as she put the necklace on, glad to see that she liked it. She kissed him and they were on their way to the center of town where the food court was.

As they touched down, Saber looked around, curiously eyeing the bustling area. Humans walked around, dressed in warm, winter clothing while a few dragons here and there made their way around. Saber noticed that even some dragons were wearing apparel to shield their bodies from the cold. He didn’t think that was a bad idea!

Aislin and Saber padded side by side, looking around for a good place to eat. The cobblestone tiles were cold beneath his paws, chilling his feet unpleasantly. It was another cold, mid-autumn day. The skies were gray and melancholy, threatening to snow.

The food court was a long and wide street, filled with a variety of shops and restaurants. It was the most cultured place in town; it attracted a lot of public attention since humans seemed to travel here all the time, from in and out of the city. Walls were painted with soft designs, the architecture of the buildings was fancy, and street décor was excellent. Overall, it was extremely pleasant to the eyes.

Scents of different foods wafted into Saber’s nostrils, filling his nose with pleasant odors that tickled his senses. Though he couldn’t distinguish what was what, besides cooked meat, it made his stomach growl hungrily.

When Aislin found a suitable place, they stepped inside after Saber held the door open for her. Greeted by the warmth, Saber sighed and shook his body to rid it of the cold. His violet scales rattled. A smiling server came up and guided them to their seats in a section designated for dragons. The chairs and booths were specially designed for a dragon, sitting lower to the ground so a dragon could sit up and eat at a table.

Saber and Aislin sat together in a booth and went over the menu. Aislin leaned against Saber with her head resting on his left shoulder. He wrapped a warm wing lovingly around her, grinning toothily. This was much different from their first time eating together, and Saber really enjoyed it.

A few other dragons were in the same area as them, and so were another pair of mates. They were happily chatting away while they ate, seeming to be having the time of their lives just like Saber and Aislin were.

Aislin placed her order first, and then Saber right after. Their server returned with their food moments later and some water. Aislin ordered a sandwich, and Saber ordered a salad with an extra serving of meat. She laughed at him for it, but Saber thought it tasted pretty good!

They eagerly dug into their food and were done before long. They paid for their food and left, returning to the cold, outside world.

Saber looked around, wondering if there was anything else they could do.

That sparked an idea! Saber shook his head and bounced up and down eagerly. “Let’s go see Rebecca!”

“Who?”

“The lady that sold me your necklace! She’d like to see you,” Saber insisted.

Aislin grumbled. “Fine, but she better not be a snobby, stuck-up woman.”

Saber chuckled and replied, “She’s not. She’s far from that.”

They leapt into the sky and flew to the mall area, which was only a few blocks away. Once the small jewelry shop was in sight, they angled down and landed outside of it. Saber excitedly trotted up to the door and opened it for Aislin. She rolled her eyes and stepped in with Saber close behind.

Rebecca was helping a male customer and didn’t quite notice them yet, despite the clanging bells that announced their presence. Aislin looked around with awe, admiring all of the pieces of jewelry set on display. Saber nuzzled her, looking at the items with her.

Saber whirled around and grinned toothily. “Hey, Rebecca!” He was nearly bouncing excitedly again, glad to see his blonde-haired friend. “This is Aislin!” he said, nuzzling his mate as they walked up to the counter. Aislin turned and greeted Rebecca politely, her emerald necklace in plain view.

“Wow… you are beautiful, Aislin. Saber’s told me a lot about you.” Her smile was sincere and genuine as was her compliment.

“Saber really did know what to get you… that necklace looks stunning on you. It matches you perfectly.”

Aislin smiled softly, admiring it herself. “He’s a bit more sensible than he seems, but not by much,” she teased. Saber playfully tapped her with his tail in protest.

“Oh, I think he’s quite the sensible guy! I have to help most of the men in here pick out what they want for their significant other. Saber, on the other hand, knew what to get you almost immediately.”

“You didn’t help him at all?”

Rebecca shook her head, and Saber held his blue chin up high and proud. “Nope. I even tried to convince him otherwise, but he was insistent on that necklace.” Rebecca leaned forward and rested her elbow on the counter. “I’m glad you two stopped by.”

“Why’s that?” Saber asked. “Miss me already?”

She sighed and chuckled at him. “It’s been a rough day so far. I had some asshole come in and threaten to tear up the place because I wouldn’t lower the price on something he wanted. That, and business is picking up because of the upcoming holidays and I keep getting more and more customers. Not that it’s a bad thing… but I’m probably going to have to hire some help because I can’t help them all at once.”

“You need some help?” Saber asked with an idea already in mind.

Rebecca chuckled. “What? Are you planning on working here again?”

Saber shook his head. “No, but we have a friend who was just fired. He could use a job.”

Aislin nodded and added, “A human friend.”

“Oh, really?” Her brow furrowed with thought. “Well… what was he fired for?”

Saber and Aislin both blushed and turned their heads away. Saber tried to explain. “Well… it’s not his fault that he was fired… it was ours because… well, it was because of us,” he finished, deciding that some information is best left private, also because Aislin hissed at him, obviously wanting that information to be kept private.

“Okay… I see,” she said, eyeing them with scrutiny. “I guess I won’t ask any further. What’s his name?”

“William,” Aislin answered.

“What about his last name? There are a lot of Williams around.”

Aislin’s face scrunched as she tried to recall William’s last name. Saber didn’t know it either.

“Sorry, I forgot that you guys don’t deal with last names very often,” she apologized. “Just have him stop by someday if he’s interested. I’m sure it won’t be a problem to hire him.”

Saber nodded. “Thanks, Rebecca.”

Aislin nudged Saber and gestured to the clock. They had about an hour before they needed to work.

Rebecca noticed too and said, “Don’t let me keep ya here!”

“We do have to get going. See ya, Rebecca!”

She nodded. “It was nice meeting you, Aislin.”

Aislin smiled softly and replied, “It was nice meeting you too.”

“Take care of Saber, will ya?” She winked and waved at them as they waved back.

Saber stepped outside first and held the door open for Aislin.

“I’m going to start disliking that if you keep doing it,” she responded.

“What are you doing with that necklace!?” a man shouted, quickly approaching Aislin. Saber immediately jumped between him and Aislin and growled. The man stopped and glared furiously at them.

“That’s stolen property! I’m going to call the police.”

Aislin hissed and stepped in front of Saber. “What do you mean stolen?”

“You just robbed the store! Don’t try to lie to me; I watched you walk out of there!” He suddenly lurched forward, trying to grab the necklace from Aislin’s neck.

Aislin wasn’t going to have any of that. She immediately struck him faster than he could react, tearing a few holes in his jacket without touching his flesh.

“This is my necklace, you bumbling moron!”

The man fell to the ground, clutching where she struck him. “Lying bitch!” He kicked at her, but Aislin backed up. He withdrew his phone and began dialing. Aislin jumped on him and grabbed the phone out of his hand with her teeth, biting down and snapping it in two. With her tail, she shoved him to the ground while growling threateningly. She made sure he was subdued.

Saber stood and watched, unsure of what exactly was going on.

Rebecca, having noticed the commotion, came running out of her shop. “What’s going on?” she asked.

The man started screaming for help despite Aislin’s hissing, continuing to say that he would, “call the cops.”

“Oh, for God’s sake,” Rebecca swore and walked over to the man flailing on the ground. Aislin backed off and watched from a safer distance. Rebecca slapped him across the face to get him to shut up. “Those are my customers that you’re harassing!

“They’re dragons!” he responded.

“They sure fucking are!”

Saber raised an eyebrow at that. Even Aislin looked at him with shock.

“Get your ass off my property like I told you the first time before I call the cops!”

The man muttered a string of curses and climbed to his feet before walking briskly away. “You’ll be receiving a call from my lawyer!”

Rebecca raised a middle finger for some reason and directed it at him.

“Sorry. People like him piss me off. I was about ready to slap him earlier anyway.” She looked at them, her face flushed red. “Are you two alright?”

“Of course,” Aislin responded. “We’re dragons.”

Rebecca grinned and began walking back into her store. “Sorry again! Have a good day!” She waved back at them as they exchanged farewells once more.

“That was odd,” Saber said as they began their flight home.

“It’s expected,” Aislin stated, seeming rather indifferent about the situation.

“Why did he think you stole that necklace?” he asked inquiringly. “He seemed rather… insistent on it.”

She looked at him seriously. “It’s because I’m a dragon, Saber. Dragons don’t wear expensive jewelry like this.”

“Oh… so he just assumed that you stole it because you were in a jewelry store?”

Aislin nodded and stared straight ahead with steely eyes. Saber’s mood dropped. After that incident, Aislin didn’t seem very happy at all. She seemed angry, but she didn’t really show it. Saber sighed.

After they briefly returned home, Aislin dropped off her necklace and coinpurse. Saber kissed her and went to tell William about the job, leaving Aislin to watch cartoons.

Ruari wasn’t around, so William answered the door. Saber briefly told him about the job, and William happily thanked Saber.

“That’ll be great! Thanks, Sabe,” William replied cheerfully, patting Saber between the horns.

Saber grinned happily and nuzzled the human. “I have to get to work. See ya!”

When Saber returned, he noticed Aislin still had an expression of distaste contorting her muzzle. He wanted to know what was wrong, and he even outright asked her at one point, but she didn’t bother to give him a reasonable explanation.

They departed for work soon after, flying in silence.

When Saber stepped into William’s old office, he was surprised to see Mr. Donley not there, which relieved him greatly, but he was even more surprised to see Ruari sitting at the desk with a pen in his paw.

“This is my position of employment! I’m your manager,” he said cheerfully, smiling proudly.

Aislin’s eyes widened. “How? Mr. Donley hired you?”

The black-scaled dragon nodded excitedly and climbed off of the chair to greet them. “I met all of the requirements, and he was rather impressed with my resumé.”

“Your resumé?” Saber asked, confused.

“Yeah… It’s a document with your written experiences and education.” He chuckled nervously and pawed at the ground. “Sorry. I realize that not all dragons have those.”

Aislin looked at him with shock. “You have an education? I didn’t think dragons could attend school.”

Ruari shook his head and explained, “There aren’t any schools that educate dragons around here. Before I relocated here with William, I resided in an even larger city. It was extremely difficult and tedious for me to attend, since there were countless humans that rejected me, but I persevered and received my diploma after a few, extensive years.”

Ruari nodded and grinned toothily. “Yes, I look forward to working with you both.” He bowed his head slightly and climbed back onto his rolling chair, looking like he almost slipped. “Now, I must return my attention to my work. As much as I love William, the blundering fool can’t keep anything organized, and I’ve got to sort through everything twice over!”

Aislin and Saber both chuckled at that, and then they left him so they could prepare for another work day.

“Lucky bastard doesn’t have to wear these suits,” Aislin grumbled, dressing into the white and orange, reflective flight suit.

“I’m sure whatever he’s doing is a headache,” Saber replied.

“William hardly ever did anything. I’m pretty sure that’s why Ruari took this job; since he’s a writer, he can write his stories while he works here, making money along the way.”

“Oh, that’s not a bad idea,” Saber commented.

Aislin nodded in agreement.

Aislin had her first package moments later, and Saber had a few envelopes before she returned. They were back and forth that night, not really getting much of a chance to see each other. Saber was glad he could talk to Ruari now instead of wallowing in boredom by himself while Aislin wasn’t around.

Saber thought Ruari was probably the most intelligent dragon he’d ever talked to. Saber knew that he himself wasn’t stupid, as he had a small education while he lived with his human family. He learned to read when he was just a whelp, and he expanded his knowledge rapidly during his adolescence. But he had been fairly limited due to the fact that he was a dragon.

Ruari, on the other hand, had pursued his thirst for knowledge well past what Saber had. The difference between them was evident, given how different Ruari seemed. He didn’t act quite like a dragon, but Saber liked him and his unique personality.

They were sitting together in Ruari’s office area, happily chatting away after Aislin had just left on her last delivery. It was getting late, and it was about time to head home.

“Saber! Ruari!” Rhona shouted excitedly as she stepped inside.

Saber whirled around and gulped, trying to swallow all of the mixed feelings gripping his throat. “R- Rhona… why are you here?”

She swaggered over to them with her hips bouncing up and down, her tail swaying back and forth deliberately. Her white scales were glinting beautifully while a satchel hung over her flank. “I came to apologize for yesterday. I happened to be in the area and thought I’d stop in for a moment.”

Saber flushed as she stepped closer to him with her nostrils flaring. Saber covered her view of his genitals with his forelegs.

Ruari curiously assessed the situation, not entirely sure what was going on.

“Y- You shouldn’t be here… Aislin could come back any second, and she’s not happy with you.”

“You told her?” she asked, raising her brows.

Saber nodded.

Rhona glanced at Ruari and returned her attention to Saber. She sighed. “Listen, Saber… I need to talk to you. Can we go back into the break room? I don’t want Ruari to have to hear this.”

Saber gulped again and nodded, following Rhona into the next room. He shut the door behind him as she poured a cup of water from the fountain. “Would you like some?”

“Uhm… sure… what’s this about, Rhona?” Saber asked. A grin stretched her lips, and she handed him a small cup.

“It’s nothing, really. I just wanted to sincerely apologize for my behavior yesterday.” She sipped her water and sighed despairingly. “I was desperate… and I crossed the line. I’m sorry, Saber.” Her soft, blue eyes were kind and sincere. “I didn’t want to build a wall between us.”

Saber drank his water and mused over what she said. “You’re not entirely at fault, Rhona. I shouldn’t have agreed to it in the first place. I’m sorry that I got your hopes up.”

She grinned and gently nuzzled him. “Thank you, Saber. I hope we can still be friends.”

Saber returned the nuzzle and her smile and nodded. “Of course, but I’m not sure how Aislin will take it… I’ll tell her that you apologized to me.”

“I appreciate it.” She opened the door and said, “Well, I guess I better get going before she comes back! See ya!” She padded away and left Ruari and Saber alone again. Saber felt a weird, empty feeling inside him. Rhona hadn’t seemed quite like her usual self, but he didn’t quite mind that.

“She apologized to you?” Ruari asked.

Saber nodded. “It was an awkward situation I’d rather not bring up.”

“Ah, I see. She’s a very… different dragoness,” he said. “I’ve never had a female come on to me within the first few seconds of meeting them.”

Saber grinned and chuckled. “Will you ever tell her you don’t swing that way?”

While Saber waited for Aislin to return, he continued to talk with Ruari about his school life. But something felt… off. Saber felt a little sick and woozy, though he didn’t really show it. He couldn’t comprehend well what Ruari said while his thoughts were roaming elsewhere, but he nodded anyway, happily continuing with the conversation.

When Aislin returned, Ruari said his farewells for the night and invited them over if they wished to come. Saber and Aislin thanked him and went to undress. They finished and flew home in the chilly, night air.

Saber noticed that his flying felt a little strange and that his vision was wavering. He worried that he could fall out of the sky, but he tried not to show it for Aislin’s sake. But she noticed as soon as he fell a few feet.

“Saber!” she cried out worriedly, checking to make sure he was alright.

Saber shook his head, trying to clear it of the dense fog that hazed his thoughts. “S- Sorry… I’m just feeling really tired…”

Aislin nodded watched him closely. “We’re almost home.”

Saber and Aislin returned to their apartment while Saber nearly dragged his paws inside. Aislin walked beside him and nuzzled him worriedly. He steadied himself and kissed Aislin goodnight. “Sorry to worry you. I’ll be fine in the morning,” he reassured.

Aislin nuzzled him tenderly. “Sleep well.”

Saber gave a weak smile and trudged into the bedroom, closing the door behind him while Aislin stayed up to watch some cartoons.

Saber nearly fell as soon as he closed the door. He struggled to stay standing on all fours as he approached the bed. He could hardly tell what was what anymore as dizziness overwhelmed him. His entire world was spinning. What is happening to me?

A strange figure revealed itself from the shadows and approached him and nuzzled his cheek as he squinted and tried to see who it was. “A- Aislin?” he asked. His tongue felt heavy.
